As Canyons studies potential school-boundary adjustments, the District remains focused on maintaining stability and choice for families. Nov. 15, 2025, marks the start of the Open Enrollment season, and careful planning now will help the District welcome as many “School Choice” transfer requests as possible while ensuring smooth transitions if new boundaries are approved.

What are “School Choice” transfer requests?

School choice means parents have options — and the comfort of knowing that whichever option you choose, it will be the right choice for your child.

In Utah, parents can apply to have their students attend a school outside their neighborhood boundaries by submitting a School Choice/Open Enrollment request.

The application window for the 2026-2027 school year opens Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. and closes at midnight on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis when space is available.

As always, families may submit more than one application. Parents will rank their preferred schools, and CSD’s enrollment team will work to place students wherever space and eligibility allow.

For students impacted by boundary changes or school consolidations

Special care will be taken this year to accommodate the permit requests for students impacted by boundary changes or school consolidations.

• Students who are currently enrolled at a school when a boundary shift takes effect may apply for a permit to stay at their school until they “age out,” or complete the final grade there. These applications will be given priority consideration.
• Siblings of current students, even those who are attending on permit, will also receive priority consideration in the permit process.
• Students on a permit at a school that is being closed will automatically be able to move to the new boundary school. In other words, their permit will move with them.
• Per District policy, transportation services are only provided for students who live within a school’s official boundary. Students who choose to stay at their school after a boundary change may lose access to busing and will need to arrange their own transportation.
• Per District policy, permits do not follow students to middle school and high school. If a student lives outside the boundaries for their preferred secondary schools, they will need to apply for permits to attend those schools.
