Quincy Public Schools

2025-2026 Open Enrollment Requests

The Quincy School Committee has a policy of granting Open Enrollment on a space-available basis. When making the decision to admit open enrollment students, the Superintendent must consider the capacity of the school building to accommodate Open Enrollment students both for the present school year and future years. School bus transportation is not available for Open Enrollment students.

To be eligible for Open Enrollment, students must be Quincy Residents.

Open Enrollment requests for students to attend a school outside their neighborhood district for the 2025-2026 school year will be accepted online beginning Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Please follow the link below to the appropriate form for your student's grade level in 2025-2026. Requests will be entered in the order they are submitted online and you will see a message confirming that you have successfully submitted the request form. 

THIS FORM IS NOT REGISTRATION FOR NEW STUDENTS.  Find new Student Pre-Registration forms for the current school year here »

Please see below for the Open Enrollment Policy and decision/notification process.

Open Enrollment Procedure:

• Student names are place on school lists in the order in which they are received. 

• Brothers and sisters of students already enrolled in a school under the Open Enrollment Policy will be given preference for that school, as long as the older student will still be enrolled there when the younger student starts schools.

• Open Enrollment decisions are made at the end of the school when enrollment projections for 2025-2026 are available.

• Notification is by email, usually by the end of July.

Please update Quincy Public Schools of any change in circumstances (for example, moving within Quincy, moving to a different town.) Please email to [email protected] or call 617-984-8702.

Kindergarten Parents may request Open Enrollment beginning on September 4, 2024 but must also register students at their home school. (Students who are already enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten at the DeCristofaro Learning Center or Snug Harbor do not have to register again.)

Kindergarten registration will begin January 2025; check our website at https://quincypublicschools.com for more information as the date approaches.  Should your child be granted Open Enrollment, all records will be transferred to their new school.
