Residence
Students residing in the USD 377 School District are eligible for enrollment.  Whenever a child is enrolled in a district school for the first time, the parent/guardian is required to provide proof of residency. Students who reside outside the boundaries of the school district who wish to attend USD 377 must apply to the USD 377 school board for non-resident admission.

Non-resident Students
Students who do not reside within the boundaries of the district must be approved by the board each year in order to continue attending any of the attendance centers within the districts.

At the end of each school term teachers and building principals are asked to make recommendations on non-resident students to help determine whether or not a student shall be admitted the following year.  The student's conduct, attitude and effort are the main items considered when applications are being reviewed for the following year.
