Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child in the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District. We accept non-resident students for open enrollment as space is available at each grade level.

Open Enrollment is defined by the process to apply for enrollment in a school district in which a student does not reside. It is designed to give all families the opportunity to select the best educational experience for their children. This enrollment option encourages parents/guardians to become knowledgeable about the needs and interests of their children and become more informed about what educational programs schools are offering. Open enrollment applications are accepted October 15 - January 15 for the following school year.

Need an interpreter? Contact your student's building to request an interpreter in your home language to assist in filling out your application and answer any questions.

St. Anthony-New Brighton Community Services believes parents are a child's first and most important teacher. The St. Anthony Community Services Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program hosts weekly classes for parents and children ages 0-5. St. Anthony Community Services also offers preschool classes for children ages 3-5 years of age.

Free School Meals entitles each student to one free breakfast and one free lunch on all in-person academic days. All items outside of the complete meal are considered ala carte purchases. 

Families should consider applying for Educational Benefits to take advantage of non-meal related benefits like bussing and discounts on fees for activities, clubs and tests. Submitted applications also help school districts qualify for education funds and discounts. 

Please visit our Nutritional Services page for more information on the free school meal program, and the Educational Benefits page to apply for benefits.

Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau works to count every person in the United States, including everyone living in Minnesota.

The census asks questions of people in homes and group living situations, including how many people live or stay in each home, and the sex, age and race of each person

The resulting count will guide the distribution of billions of dollars to Minnesota’s communities, determine political representation for the next decade, and provide data that shapes how Minnesota’s policymakers and business leaders decide to invest public and private resources.

One way the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) currently gathers information on students is through the Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System (MARSS) Web Edit System (WES). MARSS is their primary reporting system for collecting individual student data from districts.

The information collected is used to compile student counts and average daily membership (ADM), which helps the MDE calculate how much funding each district receives. The secure system also collects student demographics as well as some of the programs students participate in. Learn more.

Village Kids is the before and after school program for grades K-5 at Wilshire Park Elementary School.
