New Attendance Boundaries Kick Off Fall 2026
New attendance boundaries go into effect at district elementary and middle schools the 2026-27 school year. Please double-check whether or not your household is impacted by using the 2026-27 school finder tool.
Last spring, a multi-month community engagement process helped to determine the new attendance boundaries. Please refer to the board report for details. As shared, changes were needed because of a significant enrollment imbalance. The community’s support of Building a Better Future limited adjustments to elementary and middle schools.
Our team is here to support you and your family in making a smooth transition. Please reach out with any questions via BetterFuture@district279.org or 763-391-8990.
