The School Choice Lottery Window for the 2025-26 school year is now open, giving families the best chance of winning a seat for their children in their preferred District school.
If there is room in their preferred school, and transportation is not an issue, students are welcome: regardless of residency and other factors.
Through the Lottery Window, which closes on Monday, February 10, applicants have an equal chance of winning a seat in their preferred school. Parents can submit a School Choice application any time before the deadline to participate in the lottery. Parents will be notified of their lottery results in early March.
Parents can still submit an application after the Lottery Window closes, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 4, to have their students added to the selected schools’ wait lists.
A link to the online application is available here: https://www.pueblod60.org/schoolchoice
Important information about School Choice also can be found on our website.
If you have questions or desire additional information, contact the D60 School Choice team at 719-253-6014 or schoolchoice@pueblod60.org.
