Thank you for choosing Saint Paul Public Schools! 

1. READ the School Selection Guide thoroughly.  A printable PDF copy is available in English, Hmong, Spanish, Somali and Karen. In addition, printed copies are available at the Student Placement Center, all SPPS school buildings and several community locations including public libraries.  If your child is not currently enrolled in Saint Paul Public Schools, you must submit an application. 

2. Put your home address into SCHOOL FINDER to confirm your Area and Community School Zone and to learn more about your school choice options for Elementary, Middle School or High School.
 
3. VISIT THE SCHOOLS that interest you. Talk to the teachers. Talk to other school parents and students.
 
4. CALL THE STUDENT PLACEMENT CENTER for more answers and the latest information at 651-632-3760.
 
5. APPLY to two schools – a first and second choice – by using the application form for Elementary or Secondary or by submitting an online application.  Applications received after February 15, 2013, will be processed as of the date received and acceptances based on available space.
