How to Enroll at Pathfinder K-8
This year Open Enrollment runs from February 25 - March 8, 2013. Pathfinder is an "option" school. To enroll at Pathfinder, you will indicate that Pathfinder is your choice on the enrollment form.
Families will receive letters from the district indicating that they have been assigned to a particular neighborhood school, and implying that this school is their only choice. This is NOT the case for residents of West Seattle. All children in West Seattle may attend Pathfinder on a space available basis. Assignment depends on space availability and the assignment rules in effect at the time of application. Applications received during Open Enrollment will be processed after Open Enrollment ends and assignments are subject to tiebreakers.
