the program is housed. Siblings of these students would be given priority for placement at the same school, filling available spaces where possible. STEP 2: Priority Placements Based on District Enrollment Policy Students at Conant who meet “school walker” criteria for any of the schools, and whose families wish to utilize that priority, will be placed at those schools first. Additionally, students guaranteed placements with their parent who is a staff member at a particular school (and an Acton/Boxborough resident) will be placed at those schools. STEP 3: Transfer Waitlist Consideration: Students at Conant who have been on the transfer waitlist prior to October 31, 2025, will be offered the opportunity to transfer to their requested school, subject to available space. Families must submit or confirm requests and accept placement offers by the deadlines provided. STEP 4: Lottery for Remaining Students A lottery system will be used to assign remaining Conant students to the other five schools. Families will be asked to share their preferences of the other schools, and then a random selection process will be implemented to produce final placements. Families can place their child on a waitlist for other schools should there be openings that emerge before the start of the 26-27 school year. Kindergarten Enrollment for 2026–2027: Following the completion of the placement process for current students, the Kindergarten enrollment process for the 2026–2027 school year will be adjusted to reflect the new elementary school structure. Families will be invited to participate in registration and the Kindergarten lottery process once current student placements are finalized, allowing any sibling considerations to be identified and incorporated .
