You will not have to re-apply if you meet the following conditions:
- You continue to reside within the Wilson County Schools District
- Your student has not changed schools
If my student changes schools because of grade promotion (Example: 5th grade at Mt. Juliet Elementary to 6th grade at Mt. Juliet Middle), will I have to complete an Open Enrollment form for my student to remain in the feeder school pattern?
Yes, you will need to complete an Open Enrollment form.
Where can I find the Open Enrollment form?
You will find the Open Enrollment form on the wcschools.com website starting February 1 through March 2 at 12:00 p.m.
Will you take an Open Enrollment form after March 2nd?

What happens if a school does not offer the class(es) that my student would like to take?
You will need to submit an Open Enrollment form to Mr. Moss during the Open Enrollment Period which is Feb. 1 – March 2nd at midnight.
