Welcome Back to School! 👏🏻
Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas break with lots of fun and great memories.
Now to make 2024 a year of growth, achievement, and success!
The Greenwood School District is now accepting applications for students wishing to participate in the School Choice Program.
School Choice Act 560 of 2015 is the program authorized by the Arkansas General Assembly that allows parents to apply for their child’s admission to participating school districts other than the one in which they reside.
Application forms are available at the Greenwood Administration Office, 420 North Main, or online at https://dese.ade.arkansas.gov/Files/School_Choice_Forms_and_FAQsREVISED_Legal.pdf. Applications for the 2024-25 school year must be received on or before May 1, 2024, to be considered eligible for the coming school year.
Applications should be turned in to the non-resident district which shall notify the resident district of the filing of the application.
Assignments will be made based on space availability. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance or rejection by July 1st.
More Information can be found on our District website: https://bit.ly/48BTxC8
**If you already attend on school choice, you do not have to apply again unless you have broken enrollment.
Students return to school tomorrow, January 3rd
