Application Process
Families who are ready to enroll in Options Virtual Charter School or have additional questions should schedule an informational meeting below. We'll answer any questions you might have, set up a tour of our building, and put you in touch with one of our teachers if you want to discuss curriculum options.
Informational meetings are held virtually or in-person at Options Virtual Charter School, 534 Sunset Drive, in Elkhorn. At your informational meeting we'll discuss:
Your reason for choosing Options
Expectations for students and families
Student learning style, strengths, and areas of struggle
Online, blended, and at-home curriculum options
Be sure to bring the following with you to your informational meeting:
Most recent report card and/or transcript
Any information that will help in creating the right educational plan for your student
After you've had your informational meeting, it's time to complete and submit your EASD New Student online application. Families living outside of Elkhorn will complete Open Enrollment and EASD New Student Enrollment. Families living in Elkhorn who are not currently enrolled in one of our brick-and-mortar school buildings will complete New Student Enrollment. Families transferring to Options from one of our elementary schools, the Middle School or High School, will request that an intra-district transfer is submitted on their behalf.

Open Enrollment allows families to apply for their student(s) to attend school districts other than the one in which they live. The Open Enrollment application window opens annually in February and runs through the end of April. Outside of this window, families can apply for Alternative Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment is a one-time application and does not need to be submitted each year.
After you submit your Open Enrollment application, you'll need to request a Family Access account and complete a New Student Enrollment application for Elkhorn Area School District.
Start Open Enrollment >>
As an Elkhorn resident, you only need to complete a New Student Enrollment application. After your application meeting, follow the steps below to start your application:
First, you'll need to request a Skyward Family Access account.
After you request your account, check your email for a link to the application—use your email address as your login name and the temporary password in the email to log in and start your application.
Current EASD families who want to transfer from a brick and mortar building to Options do not need to complete an Enrollment application. You're already enrolled. After you've had an application meeting with Options, we'll initiate an intra-district transfer form.
You don't have to lift a finger.
