Register My Child for School

My School DC is the common application and public school lottery for participating public and public charter schools in the District that serve PK3 – Grade 12.

My School DC, in partnership with DC Public Schools (DCPS) and the majority of DC public charter schools, makes it easier for families to take advantage of DC's many school options. 
 

The My School DC application

The My School DC application is a single online application you must use to apply if you want your child to be a NEW student at a:

• PK3 or PK4 program at any DCPS school, including your in-boundary school and any DCPS Early Action PK school
• Dual-language strand at any DCPS in-boundary elementary school (PK3 – Grade 5)
• DCPS school outside your boundary or feeder pattern* for any grade (PK3 – Grade 12), including DCPS citywide schools
• DCPS selective high schools and programs (Grades 9-12)
• Participating public charter schools (PK3 – Grade 12)
  
  *If you moved out-of-boundary from your DCPS school and lost your right to the middle or high school feeder school, you will need to apply to it. See DCPS Enrollment and Lottery Handbook for details.

Participating schools will only accept the My School DC application available at MySchoolDC.org. Each student can apply to up to 12 schools. On each student’s application, a family should list schools in order of preference. Parents should only apply to schools they want their child to attend.
