Group of KidsThe on-time application period for the Hartford Public Schools’ lottery is October 15, 2011 - January 31, 2012. The Lottery is scheduled to run in March, 2012.

Choice is a process that families engage in when their child is ready to be promoted from one school level to the next, such as when your child is ready to start elementary school or is ready to go to secondary school.

There are additional opportunities to engage in the choice process when a new school is opened or new grades are added to an existing school.
All parents will participate in the Choice process when their child enters elementary school and again when your child enters high school.
