School District Five’s Magnet and Choice application period for the 2026–2027 school year is currently underway and will close at noon on January 28.<\/p>\n
An online application is required for each student interested in a Magnet Program or School of Choice and is available at lexrich5.novuschoice.com.<\/p>\n
Applicants may select up to two program or school choices and must rank them in order of preference. Families interested in only one option are not required to list a second choice. Students do not need to list their zoned school unless applying for a specific program housed within that school, such as Montessori at H.E. Corley Elementary or the STEM program at Dutch Fork High School.<\/p>\n
District Five encourages families to explore Magnet and Choice opportunities carefully before applying. Parents and students are advised to select programs that align with the student’s interests and passions.<\/p>\n
Information about all available Magnet and Choice programs can be found at www.lexrich5.org\/choice<\/a>. Families may also schedule school tours or attend information nights by contacting the school or program directly. A list of upcoming January information sessions is available on the district’s website.<\/p>\n Lottery and final selection notifications will be emailed to families after 4 p.m. on February 6. Each notification will include a link to accept or decline the placement. The deadline to accept an offered placement is noon on February 10.<\/p>\n Families who decline an offer but wish to remain in the waiting pool for another choice will be contacted if a position becomes available and must then accept or decline that offer.<\/p>\n For application assistance, technical support, or questions, families may contact Deborah Hill in the District Five Magnet Office at dhill@lexrich5.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" School District Five’s Magnet and Choice application period for the 2026–2027 school year is currently underway and will close at noon on January 28.
