Priority EnrollmentTimeline(Neighborhood/Sibling)
Time for a Quiz!
I live in the neighborhood boundary. Does this mean my child is automatically admitted to Segerstrom?
I missed the priority enrollment period! What can I do now?
I want to make sure my child gets into Segerstrom by entering the priority enrollment period. Does anyone really check to see if my address is accurate?
My daughter attends Segerstrom right now, and my nephew lives with us. May he enroll at Segerstrom during the priority period as a sibling?
I live with another family in your neighborhood boundary area. The bills are not in my name. How do I enroll my student during the priority period?
My grandmother is visiting the U.S. for the first time in October. I need to take my son out of school in order to be with us for a big family trip to Disneyland. Is his absence excused?
I’m worried about getting into Segerstrom since we don’t live in the neighborhood. Should I apply for the Godinez lottery, too?
My daughter attends Segerstrom right now. I want my son to attend next year. He is currently a sophomore at Valley. May he enroll as a sibling?
What are my chances of getting my child into Segerstrom through the lottery process?
Last year, 740 students applied for enrollment through the lottery. Segerstrom accepted 100 of these students.
The enrollment packets are due by 4PM on January 30th for priority and by February 24th for lottery.
Is 4:05 PM okay?
