The School Board of Lee County has approved the Plan for Student Enrollment and set the annual Student Open Enrollment period for the 2024-25 school year. The schedule is as follows:

– Elementary School: Jan. 26 through Feb. 29

– Middle School: Jan. 26 through Feb. 29 (Art program applications are being accepted from now through Jan. 26.)

– High School: Now through Feb. 29 (Advanced program applications are being accepted from now through Jan. 26.)

The Plan for Student Enrollment includes a new proximity-based student assignment plan for middle school students. Students will receive communication from the School District of Lee County about what actions, if any, they need to take. Interactive maps to determine what schools are in a student’s proximity zone are available on the district’s website at https://www.leeschools.net/.

Open enrollment applications are submitted through the FOCUS Parent Portal. Families can create a FOCUS Parent Portal or log into their existing one at https://www.leeschools.net/our_schools/focus.

Student assignment lottery applications are processed after the enrollment period ends. There is no reward for submitting choices on the first day and no penalty for submitting choices up until the deadline on Feb. 29 at 4 p.m. School assignments will be released in early April.
