Last Chance: Open Enrollment, Student Art Exhibit to End Monday

Parents have less than a week to enroll their children in a neighboring school district, with the open enrollment period ending on Monday.

Open enrollment was extended for the 2012-13 school year after changes under Act 114. The typical 3-week period parents were previously given to complete open enrollment applications extended to almost three months, ending Monday.

There are also a number of other new deadlines to meet and forms that nonresident applicants and the schools will have to finish; an entire list of these mostly administrative changes can be found in this PDF.

Time is also running out to check out the 2012 Art Show, showcased at during the month of April. "The art show consists of some of the finest artwork created by kindergarten through twelfth-grade students in a wide variety of art mediums," according to the library's website.
