The new school choice assignment plan has sped up the usual process of registering for school and applying for the magnet program this year.
Pre-enrollment for new students and rising kindergartners began on Monday, Nov. 28.

If you plan on applying for one of Wake's many magnet schools, you must pre-enroll before you can participate in the magnet school selection process. That opens up on Dec. 5 when parents can complete an online application. Click here for more details and the magnet school application.
Rising kindergartners and new students also will need to pre-enroll so they can participate in the new school choice selection process. The first round begins Jan. 17.
