Welcome Center

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.

Resident students are defined as those living within the attendance boundaries of the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District.

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

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.

Minnesota Law requires that students who are enrolled in public schools provide documentation of vaccination against certain communicable diseases or a legal exemption from those vaccinations.  Students must be current on their immunizations or have a legal exemption in order to continue to be enrolled in school.  Questions about immunizations can be directed to the District Nurse at 612-706-1077 or 612-706-1263.

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.
