Open Enrollment
The open enrollment period is now open! Open Enrollment opens Monday, February 6th and runs through Friday, April 28th, closing at 4:00 p.m. Open enrollment is a time that families, in the state of WI, can enroll out of their resident district, and into a district of their choosing. This is also the time of year that we, as a school, are starting to look at enrollment for next year and make plans for classes, staffing and opportunities for the WVL community.
