Welcome to the Office of Student Assignment (Zoning)
Helping families get started in our schools
At our office, we are committed to helping families navigate the process of student assignments based on their geographic locations. Enrollment for elementary, middle, and high schools is determined by clearly defined attendance zones. Recognizing that every child deserves access to education, we offer support to families facing challenges with regular school attendance.
We proudly partner with the Department of Student Services to uphold our shared values of access and success for all students. Our goal is to ensure that supports offered by our Student Services team that are related to student placement are fulfilled as quickly as possible. Guided by state statutes, board policies, and district procedures, we ensure enrollment decisions prioritize the best interests of children and their education.
Time in school is invaluable. Each day of attendance positively contributes to a child's achievement and growth. We encourage families to enroll their children promptly—because every moment in the classroom matters.

Enrolling in School

The Office of Student Assignment assigns school to property parcels based on geographic location within the county. Each parcel is assigned to an elementary, middle and high school. These are referred to as zoned schools. Students residing on a given property must attend the school to which the property is assigned.
Parents may apply to have their students attend schools other than their zoned schools. This is managed through the school choice/controlled open enrollment process, offered each spring for the following school year. Any school choice applications received after the deadline are placed at the bottom of the waiting list and processed only as time permits.
Parents who miss the school choice window or experience unforeseen circumstances may apply for a zoning exception based on specific hardship criteria. Requests not based on hardship reasons are to be treated as a request for school choice/controlled open enrollment. Zoning exceptions are granted for a single school year and must be renewed annually. Exceptions can be revoked at any time for student disciplinary problems, excessive absences or tardiness.
New residents or families with questions about what school your child is zoned to attend - please contact the District's Office of Student Assignment/Zoning Office at zoning@gm.sbac.edu or (352) 955-7700 to verify school attendance zone information.
