District Enrollment Dates & Deadlines
Have an incoming kindergartener or are you new to Seattle Public Schools? Follow the two steps below. If you already have a student in SPS, but would like to move to Queen Anne Elementary, start with Step 2.
Step 1: New Student Registration for the 2026-27 School Year Begins January 5, 2026
New Student Registration is a general enrollment process. See the SPS Registration site for information on registering. If your neighborhood school is your first choice, your registration is complete.
Step 2: Open Enrollment for School Choice is January 5th-31st, 2026
If you're interested in having your child attend Queen Anne Elementary, the next step is to submit that choice during the Open Enrollment period. See the SPS School Choice and Open Enrollment page for details.
NEW THIS YEAR: The district will NOT accept school choice applications after January 31st!
We are happy to assist any family with SPS registration and the school choice applications. Feel free to reach out to come by the school or email [email protected] if you would like assistance. Alternatively, you can receive assistance at the SPS Registration Fair on January 31 from 9:00am - 3:00 pm at the John Stanford Center (2445 3rd Ave S).
Sibling Reminder: If you have a student currently enrolled at Queen Anne Elementary and plan to send your other child(ren) to QAE, you must complete the Open Enrollment for the incoming sibling(s). The sibling(s) will be given priority.
Important Dates:
Selection Process and Tie-Breakers:
The school district reviews all school choice forms submitted by the deadline and attempts to match students with their top choice. In the event that there are more students than there are spots available, enrollment is determined by a series of tie-breakers. They are, in order:
The Queen Anne Elementary Geo Zone covers, roughly, all of Upper and Lower Queen Anne. See the QAE Geo Zone map for details. SPS also provides transportation to students living in certain areas. Learn more with the QAE Transportation map.
If your student is initially on the wait list when assignments are available, they may eventually get a spot at QAE as other students decide on other schools or move out of the area (no guarantees though)!
