Out of District Student Enrollment
OUT-OF-DISTRICT STUDENT ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
If you live outside of the Great Falls Public School District boundary area and are wanting your child(ren) to attend one of our district schools for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, appropriate paperwork will need to be on file to be able to enroll in Great Falls Public Schools, including the Out-of-District Student Enrollment Application. This online application is open from February 17, 2025, through March 15, 2025. Due to the passage of House Bill 203 which provides for open enrollment between districts, parents/guardians will no longer be responsible for tuition costs.

You will be notified of the anticipated date for acceptance or decline of your request within ten (10) days of receipt of the initial application.
Please note:
