The Newton Public Schools considers applications from families residing in Newton who would like their student to attend or transfer to a school different from their assigned district. This process is also utilized for Newton faculty/staff (NTA Units A, B, C, D, E, NESA, Custoical Union) who wish to enroll their student in the Newton Public Schools.

Applications for Out-of-District placement are now available and may be submitted between March 1st and May 3rd 2021. The Google form below should be completed electronically and submitted via email.

• Out-of-Assigned (OAD) district placements are limited and are made on a space available basis. The established procedure and application process must be followed in order for the request to be considered. Please see the Out-of-Assigned District Policy issued by the Newton School Committee.
• Parents/guardians are responsible for transportation if the student is placed out-of-assigned district.
• For families, once an out-of-assigned district placement is approved, the student will follow the feeder pattern for the new school through middle and high school. A new application is NOT needed each year.
