General Information

? Schools will need to verify all information including contacts, parental rights, etc. when enrolling a child.

? Parents that have a child currently enrolled in Polk County Public Schools, but have not attached the child to their Parent Portal account must obtain a PIN number from their current school before applying.

? Accepting a magnet/choice school removes you from the other waiting pools. ? Parents must have updated/current information in Parent Portal for the correct schools

to automatically populate. If their address is wrong, they must attend their zoned school to have the address corrected. ? If parents are moving later in the year, they must apply next year. You must be at your residence during the time of applying. ? Parents have 10 days to make a decision if they are accepted. If they do not respond, they are removed from the accepted list and all other waiting pools for which they applied. ? If a parent declines a magnet/choice acceptance, they stay in all other lottery pools for which they applied. ? The ranking order process does not affect the way the lottery is conducted. It just helps us track information. ? Starting February 1, it is recommended that parents check their email weekly for acceptance updates and notifications. ? If the parent does not have an email address, they will need to create one. ? If the parent does not have access to the internet, they will need to use their public library, community center or the school.
