The School Choice Application for the 2025-2026 School Year is Now Open
In the Conejo Valley Unified School District we have a right fit for every student. For families who would like to enroll their student in a CVUSD school other than their assigned neighborhood school, this may be completed via the School Choice Application process.
A families’ neighborhood school is assigned based on their address of residency. To determine your assigned neighborhood school, please use the District’s “Street Index” and “School Locator” map.
When a School Choice Application is approved, the student is approved to attend the requested school through that school’s highest grade level. You do not have to reapply each year.
When is the School Choice Application Available?
On Friday, November 1, 2024 at 8:00 am, the School Choice Application for the 2025-2026 school year will be available for families to complete ONLINE HERE.
(Please note: Families without access to a device at home to complete the form online, may come to the District's Educational Center located at 1400 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks to utilize a District computer to complete the form.)
School Choice Applications must be submitted by Friday, January 31, 2025 at 11:59 pm in order to be considered “on time” and to be included in the lottery process.
Please note, applications will still be accepted after January 31st. At schools where there is a waitlist, applications submitted after January 31st will be placed on the waitlist in the order received.
NEW THIS YEAR: A public-facing School Choice Application Waitlist webpage will be available in Spring 2025. This will allow families to check the status of their student’s School Choice Application on the Waitlist in real-time. This Waitlist webpage will utilize the new, unique School Choice Application confirmation code that will be sent to each applicant via email after they complete the School Choice Application online.
NEW: No School of Choice Applications will be accepted after July 1, 2025 for any students currently enrolled in CVUSD for the 2024-25 school year.

Neighborhood School Enrollment for New CVUSD Students Begins Monday, January 27, 2025
Importantly, families do NOT need to submit a School Choice Application if your student is planning to attend their assigned neighborhood school, or if your student was previously approved to attend their current school through school choice.
The majority of CVUSD’s students attend their neighborhood school via the Neighborhood School Enrollment process. CVUSD kindergarten enrollment packets will be available online and at neighborhood schools beginning Monday, January 27, 2025. A families’ neighborhood school is assigned based on their address of residency. To determine the assigned neighborhood school, please use the District’s “Street Index” and “School Locator” map.
When is the Interdistrict Transfer Form Available?
If a family resides outside of CVUSD’s boundaries, but would like to attend a CVUSD school, an Interdistrict Transfer Form must be completed. Families must complete an Interdistrict Transfer Form and submit it to their assigned, “home” school district. Interdistrict Transfer Forms should be submitted to CVUSD during the priority period (November 1 - January 31). Enrollment is contingent on release from your district of residence. Steps on the Interdistrict Transfer process can be found here.
