Watervliet Public Schools announces that the district is accepting applications from non-resident students for the Winter Semester of the 2023-2024 school year which begins on January 22, 2024. The application period will remain open until January 5th, 2024.

To be eligible for Schools of Choice, applicants must be a resident of a district within an intermediate school district contiguous to the boundaries of the educating district’s intermediate school district. Transportation will not be provided for non-resident students. The non-resident applicant’s district of residence will be asked to provide information for evaluating the student’s application. Watervliet Public Schools may refuse to enroll a non-resident applicant who has been expelled and/or suspended within the preceding two years from school or has a poor attendance record at their resident district.

If the number of qualified non-resident applicants exceeds the enrollment allotments available, the district will use a random draw system that complies with State and federal anti-discrimination laws. Applications not accepted by the random draw will be placed on a waiting list.
