Online Application Open Feb. 1 - Feb. 28
All families are asked to submit a new application, regardless of whether or not they have submitted an application in the past.
Submit one application per family and connect siblings. If you have an elementary student currently attending an RISD school, use their 6-digit student ID and date-of birth, and this will auto-fill the parent contact section. Upload a birth certificate for any student younger than elementary age. If you do not have a student currently enrolled in RISD, upload proof of residence and a birth certificate for each student.
You may have more than one first choice.
Lottery Assignments Emailed March 31
We prioritize keeping siblings together. All assignments are made by random selection based on the preferences indicated on the application and the space available in the grade for your student(s). You will have a couple of weeks to notify the school if you accept the assignment. RISD will provide transportation for students who live more than two miles from the magnet.
