Diversity Choice

Students residing in the elementary attendance areas listed on the chart below may choose to attend the school shown in the "Assigned" column or choose to attend the school shown in the "Diversity Choice" column with bus transportation provided by the District.  These are the only permitted choices under this provision.  (Where an entry has been left blank, students are expected to attend the school in their assigned tracking pattern.)  Note: Students in the elementary schools listed that have sixth grade may for sixth grade continue to attend the elementary school, attend the assigned middle school or choose the diversity choice school.

Campus principals and counselors will be able to answer most of your questions about your child’s options under this Diversity Choice Program.  They can provide information about schools’ academic performance, class scheduling and curriculum.  Please feel free to contact them.  You are also welcome to visit campuses.  Please call ahead for an appointment so that a staff member is available to meet with you.

Opción de diversidad

Los estudiantes que residen en las zonas de las escuelas primarias citadas abajo, pueden asistir a la escuela que se muestra en la columna "Asignada" o seleccionar la escuela que aparece en la columna de "Opción de Diversidad," contando con transportación del Distrito.  Estas son las únicas opciones según esta provisión.  (Si hay un espacio en blanco, el estudiante permanecerá en el patrón de seguimiento asignado.) Nota: Los estudiantes que asisten a las escuelas primarias que aparecen en la lista que ofrecen 6° grado pueden continuar asistiendo a dicha escuela para el 6° grado, asistir a la escuela media asignada o seleccionar la escuela de opción de diversidad.

Los directores(as) y consejeros(as) de los planteles escolares podrán contestar la mayor parte de las preguntas que ustedes tengan relacionadas a este programa de opción de diversidad para su hijo(a).  Pueden darles información sobre el trabajo académico, los horarios de clases y el currículo de las escuelas.  Por favor, siéntanse con libertad de comunicarse con ellos.  Los invitamos también a visitar los planteles escolares.  Sírvanse llamar con anticipación para una cita, de modo que haya un miembro del personal disponible para reunirse con ustedes.
