Placement notification schedule

The RSCO placement process begins in February 2025 for CTECS and March 2025 for magnet schools and the Open Choice Program, and continues into September 2025.

RSCO will notify families by email or text message if their child receives a placement offer or is on the waitlist.

I didn’t receive a placement offer.

Missed the on-time application deadline?

You can apply to schools and programs during the late application period beginning in March 2025, but you may have fewer choices. Because new applicants are generally added to the waitlist after on-time applicants, open schools and grades will be limited based on waitlist size.
