The SchoolChoice Round 2 application is now open!

Anyone who wants to apply to other schools may participate in Round 2. This includes but is not limited to families who:

  • Did not submit an application in Round 1 and would like their student to enroll in a different school.

  • Have changed their minds since submitting a Round 1 application and would like to re-explore their options.

  • Are new to DPS for the 2025-26 school year.

Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, within school admission priorities. There is no lottery in Round 2, but priorities are given. 

Your student will be placed on a waitlist while your application is processed. If at any time the school has available space, your student will be offered a seat, and you’ll have 72 hours to accept that seat. If your student is accepted to a school during Round 2, any Round 1 school assignment is relinquished. However, you'll remain on waitlists for any higher-ranked schools.

Families who are applying for ECE-4 should also submit the Colorado Universal Preschool application. Visit the SchoolChoice website for more information on applying for preschool at DPS.

If you have questions about your application, email schoolchoice@dpsk12.org or call the Choice Hotline at 720-423-3493.
