Parkview Enrollment Application

Parkview Center School uses an annual enrollment application timeline, followed by a lottery drawing, to allow equitable access for enrolling at PCS. Students currently enrolled do not need to re-apply. However, new siblings coming into Parkview DO need to fill out an application. Siblings are given preference in the lottery process.

To enroll your child in the Parkview lottery for the 2012-2013 school year, please fill out the application and return to the address given on the form by Friday, February 3rd. A lottery drawing will take place in mid February and you will be notified by mail if your child is or is not accepted. If you have any further questions, please call Central Enrollment Office at 651-635-1626.
