To begin your journey with us, please follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Complete the OVCS Application
Fill out our online application, which helps us understand your student's background and interests. If you’re looking to enroll multiple students, please complete a separate application for each child.

Step 2: Submit an Open Enrollment Application (for Non-Residents)
If you live outside the boundaries of the Elkhorn Area School District, you’ll need to file an Open Enrollment application. This notifies the Department of Public Instruction of your intent to enroll your child in our charter school. The regular Open Enrollment period runs from early February to the end of April each year, with an Alternative Open Enrollment option available in July.

Step 3: Complete the EASD New Student Enrollment Application
Finally, enroll your student into the Elkhorn Area School District by filling out the New Student Enrollment Application.

Visit the district's enrollment webpage and locate the "Let's Get Started" section.
Choose the appropriate option: "This is my first student enrolling in EASD…" or "I have other students enrolled in EASD and already have a Family Access account…"
Follow the instructions to log in or request a Family Access account.

Please note: The New Student Enrollment application is not mobile-friendly, so it must be completed on a laptop or desktop.

If you need assistance at any point during the enrollment process, don't hesitate to reach out to our registrar, Katie Hoffman, at hoffka@elkhorn.k12.wi.us.
