NVUSD open enrollment for 2027–28 runs October 15 to November 30

Based on 3 sources · most recently checked Oct 17, 2026 · See how we know

Families in the Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD) can apply from October 15 to November 30, 2026, to attend a different district school next year. Open enrollment is the yearly lottery for a seat at a school other than the one assigned by your address. NVUSD runs American Canyon High, American Canyon Middle and three elementary schools in the city. Offers or waitlist notices are expected in December.

How to apply

Apply online at nvusd.schoolmint.net. Children who live in the district but attend homeschool, private school or Stone Bridge Charter must first register at their assigned school, then apply.

Before you apply

  • The district does not provide transportation to an open-enrollment school.
  • A student who accepts a seat cannot simply switch back. Returning means applying again or seeking a hardship transfer.
  • Students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP), a written plan for special education services, can apply. The district checks that the school can provide those services.
  • Families who live outside the district use a separate interdistrict transfer request, open since October 15.

Help

Online information sessions run 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, October 19 (elementary) and Wednesday, October 21 (middle and high), with Spanish interpretation. Register on the district's enrollment page. The Enrollment Center, 2425 Jefferson Street in Napa, Room 106, is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: 707-253-3435 or enrollment@nvusd.org.
