    OPEN ENROLLMENT

    • Open Enrollment is a request to transfer from your school of residence (a.k.a. your “neighborhood school” or your “home school”) to a Program of Choice or another school within the Sunnyvale School District.
    • Open Enrollment is one of the ways the Sunnyvale School District aims to meet the diverse needs and interests of its students. 
    • Please note that you must complete Sunnyvale School District's registration process in order to be eligible for the Open Enrollment process.
    • Open Enrollment is not necessary for students who are registered for and wish to attend their home school.
    • The exception is that ALL students who wish to participate in Columbia Middle School’s University Partnership Program must go through open enrollment, even if Columbia is your neighborhood school.
