ENROLLMENT
In-District Enrollment
Families living within the LaMotte School District boundaries can enroll their children by following our in-district enrollment process. This section will provide step-by-step instructions along with the necessary forms to complete registration. Please ensure you have the required documentation, such as proof of residency, immunization records, and prior school records. Forms and detailed instructions will be available here soon.
Enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year will begin in January 2026.
Out-of-District Enrollment Procedures
Enrollment of non-resident students that would cause the district to exceed accreditation standard limits for the elementary as stated at 10.55.712 ARM and 10.55.713 ARM in any school, grade, or classroom would operate as an educationally relevant limit on acceptance in order to avoid an adverse effect on the district meeting its definition of quality education stated in the core values and beliefs & strategic parameters section of the strategic plan while ensuring sufficient space for enrolled resident students. Research by the International Council of Professors of Educational Administrators published at https://www.icpel.org/ supports that smaller class sizes positively impact student achievement.
Prioritization Policy
The LaMotte School District may prioritize the applications of students only if the district receives more applications than it can accommodate. The priority process will only be utilized when the district receives more applications than the school can contain by reaching and exceeding the cap established in the strategic plan. Until the accommodation limit is reached, the district has to consider all applications.
