As a resident of South Brunswick, is it possible to send my child to any school other than the one assigned to my neiborhood? if yes, what is the procedure?Sending a child to a school other than the assigned school is called Open Enrollment. An application of Open Enrollment is obtained from the school. The parent is asked to complete the application and submit it to the principal of the assigned school to be signed. The application is then forwarded to the principal of the school that the parent requests the child to be "open enrolled" for approval. Due to enrollment numbers, this request may not always be granted. However, if the request is granted, the parent is responsible for transporting the child to and from school. There are no exceptions to this rule.
