Pre-K Montessori, VPI and Elementary Option School Application Information for School Year 2019-20

On Monday, April 15, the APS Elementary Option Schools, Pre-K Montessori, and the Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) applications closed for families. The Welcome Center facilitated the lottery for Elementary Option Schools/Programs on April 23 and Pre-K Programs on April 24. Families were notified via email and/or text message of their status on May 1. Parents must confirm or decline attendance to the school(s) or program(s) to which their students have been accepted no later than May 15, 2019. Students who applied, but were not selected through the lottery process, will be placed in numerical order on a wait list. Applications received after the deadline are placed at the bottom of the existing wait list for the upcoming school year. Additional information is available on the How to Apply page. For any questions or additional information requests, please call 703-228-8000 or email schooloptions@apsva.us.
