Tulsa Public Schools enrollment window for the 2021-2022 school year opens

-

TULSA, OK – For a second year, Tulsa Public Schools will offer a unified enrollment system for all 77 of the district’s neighborho­od schools, magnet schools, and district-authorized charter schools. The enrollment window for the 2021-2022 school year will open on Tuesday, Jan. 5 and run through Friday, Feb. 12. Enrollment is open for prekinderg­arten through 12th grades, and Tulsa children who will be four years old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible for the district’s free full-day pre-kindergart­en programs.

“We are excited to launch our second year with this unified enrollment system,” said Superinten­dent Deborah A. Gist. “Our schools offer a range of learning experience­s that meet the needs of every child, and the enrollment period is an opportunit­y for parents to explore the options available to them throughout our district.”

While the district will not offer in-person enrollment events this year, parents and families will be able to attend any of the virtual enrollment events that will take place throughout January and early February.

“While we would certainly prefer to have our families visit schools in person, our school teams have been working hard to prepare exciting virtual tours and open houses that will help families learn about what each school community can offer for their child,” Gist said.

Beginning the week of Jan. 10, the district will begin sharing a weekly event calendar for enrollment that will include:

Parent informatio­n sessions on key topics including pre-kindergart­en, dual language learning, college readiness, health and safety, and athletics programmin­g;

Virtual tours and virtual open houses at district schools;

Opportunit­ies to learn about schools through video, email, and websites.

The district will hold a virtual Enrollment Expo where parents and students can learn and ask questions about school options in real-time. The virtual event for elementary schools will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 26, and the virtual event for middle, junior high, and high schools will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Parents can find more informatio­n about the learning options available at Tulsa Public Schools, key dates for (virtual) parent informatio­n sessions, and a step-by-step guide to the enrollment process at www.tulsaschoo­ls.org/enroll.
