ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

OUT-OF-DISTRICT STUDENTS

USD 290 parents: recently the legislature enacted a law allowing for open enrollment of students residing outside of district boundaries. This law requires students who do not live within the Ottawa USD 290 boundaries to apply to attend a Ottawa USD 290 school. However, if you are a student who has been enrolled in our schools for the 2023/24 school year and reside outside of the district, the law allows for you to remain in USD 290 schools without the need for application. Therefore, there is no additional action that you need to take other than the normal enrollment process which typically begins toward the end of July.

For any student who was not enrolled in our schools during the 2023/24 school year who wishes to attend, please complete the Application for Nonresident Student Enrollment. This form can be picked up at the district office at 1404 S. Ash Street, Ottawa, KS 66067. You can also print a form from the website under Enrollment information and email the form to bybeea@usd290.org. If you have any questions about the application, please call 785-229-8010. All applications must be received by June 30, 2024. Please be aware that your application does not guarantee enrollment in our schools per the law depending on class size restrictions. If you have questions about the process please feel free to reach out to Dr. Cobbs at cobbr@usd290 or call at 785-229-8010 for further information

FOR NEW STUDENTS

If you are a new student to the district we would like to meet you! Parents of a new student to the district or Kindergarten student will come to enrollment to fill out an enrollment info form. We will enter you into the system and give you access to Family Access to finish enrollment for your new student.
