Littleton Public Schools offers many educational choices to resident and nonresident parents and students. State law allows non-resident parents to enroll their children in LPS or any other Colorado school without paying tuition when state and district guidelines are followed.

To open enroll your students, first contact the school(s) in which you would like to enroll; especially at the high school level. Then apply by completing an application form and returning it to the school(s) in which you want to enroll your child, along with any other documentation requested by the individual school. Application forms are available in all LPS school offices, by calling 303.347.3300, or by accessing Application for NonDistrict Resident Open Enrollment  (51.0 KB)

Application may be made for the next school year beginning October 1 of each year. However, resident applications will receive priority consideration over nonresident applications from October 1 through January 31. After January 31, all applications—resident and nonresident—will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis when the following requirements are met:

• There must be room in the grade level the student will enter
• There must be a program in place in the new school that is appropriate for the enrolling student
• No district transportation will be provided unless there is room on an established route
• The student must be in good standing in his or her previous school
• Nonresident students must apply yearly for continued enrollment in LPS

LPS and Douglas County Schools have a special agreement that provides some waivers of nondistrict resident requirements. For information, call 303-347-3300. Application forms are available in all LPS school offices or by calling 303-347-3300.

Once your child has been accepted to the school of your choice,  follow the simple, two-step process for registering and enrolling your child.

1. Register all of your children in the school district at one time at the Education Services Center.

2. Enroll your children at their individual schools, at which point you can obtain class assignments, schedules, and other information unique to each child’s school.
