School Choice open enrollment begins today for the DeKalb County School District.

Families living in the DeKalb County School District zone can enter their children for selection to many of the district’s elite programs, including language immersion and magnet programs.

Current students will need their student identification number, along with a parent's email address. Prospective students will need a parent's email address, proof of residency, a copy of the most recent report card, birth certificate and a district-issued affidavit of residence. For students seeking acceptance to a high-achieving magnet program, applicants also would need a student's latest Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test scores.

Parents with additional questions can visit the Parent Support Center, 1192 Clarendon Ave in Avondale Estates between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by phone at 678-676-0050 or 678-676-0035.
