My family moved to <strong>Hartford</strong> after the lottery period ended, and my child was placed in a school<br />
with available seats. My child is in a transitional grade. How will it be determined w<strong>here</strong> my child<br />
will attend school next year?<br />
Students in transitional grades without an on-time application will be placed in the school<br />
closest to their home that has space available.<br />
If my child attends a school that ends at 5th grade (Maria Sanchez School, Parkville Community<br />
School, Expeditionary Learning Academy at Moylan), do I have to submit a lottery application?<br />
No. The children who attend the schools listed above will be automatically seated at<br />
McDonough Expeditionary Learning School for 6th grade. Families must still enroll their child at Mc-<br />
Donough by May 31, 2013. If a parent wishes to explore new school options for their 6th grade child, then<br />
a <strong>Hartford</strong> Choice Lottery application must be completed.<br />
What happens if my child is retained (held back) in his/her current grade?<br />
It is important that you keep the Choice Office informed of any changes to your child’s<br />
application. If you are informed that your child is being retained and you contact the office before the<br />
Lottery is conducted, your child can be entered into the Lottery with the updated grade level. Children<br />
who have been retained will generally remain at the same school.<br />
Are t<strong>here</strong> other <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> that are not a part of the <strong>Hartford</strong> District Choice<br />
Lottery?<br />
Yes. T<strong>here</strong> are two (2) other educational resources—Opportunity High School and <strong>Hartford</strong> Adult<br />
Education.<br />

My family moved to <strong>Hartford</strong> during the lottery period and my child was placed in a school with<br />
available seats. Is my child eligible to participate in the <strong>Hartford</strong> District Choice Lottery?<br />
Yes. All children entering Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 are eligible to participate in the<br />
<strong>Hartford</strong> District Choice Lottery. Children in transitional grades are required to apply and are placed<br />
first, as they must change schools in the 2013-14 school year. Children in non-transitional grades can also<br />
apply, however, seats are limited and placement is not guaranteed.<br />
