Direct Enrollment continues for the 25/26 School Year |
You can see selected students in your matched tab. This tab will include all applications submitted since matching ended, families looking for a change in placement, and any new applications for the remainder of the 25/26 school year.
The process for direct enrollment can be found in the provider handbook under the section titled Direct Enrollment: Provider Process Steps.
REMINDER: you won't receive notifications for selected students and must check the provider portal. If a family notifies you that they are changing their enrollment to a different program, please promptly unenroll them (if you have enrolled them already), or decline them (if they are in your selected tab).
