Buffer Zones
When completing enrollment, you may notice that two schools are listed under the elementary or middle school options. This means your residence falls within a "buffer zone," allowing flexibility for the district in balancing class and school sizes. During registration, you will be automatically notified if you are in a buffer zone and will be given the option to select a preferred school. However, the district will make the final determination about school assignment.
A buffer zone refers to an area where a residence can be assigned to either of two schools. This system helps the district manage class and school sizes more effectively.
