School choice happens all year in Minneapolis.
Make sure to call ahead. The district does focus on school choice between November and January of each year. Most of our schools hold open houses during this time. The district also holds its annual School Choice Fair in November. School request cards must be postmarked by January 15 of the previous school year to be included in the first round of school assignments.
