Nonresident Open Enrollment

Nonresident open enrollment applies to students new to Circle Public Schools who live outside district boundaries. If your student attended last year, simply complete an Intent to Return form—no additional application is needed.

However, if your student is a sibling of a current student but has never attended Circle Public Schools, a nonresident enrollment application is required.

For questions about nonresident enrollment, please email dofrontdesk@usd375.org or call (316) 541-2577.
