How To Enroll Students Grades 1-12... Each school has a distinct personality, and offers something unique for its students.  The Minnesota Department of Education's website provides information about class sizes, teacher experience and education, classroom support, test scores and other valuable information.

To enroll, simply call, visit or email your neighborhood school. You'll be asked to fill out an enrollment form at the school - please bring along your child's social security number, birth certificate and immunization record ( click here for Minnesota Immunization requirements ).  Each school serves a designated attendance area.  If you're not sure which school serves your attendance area, contact our Transportation Department at 218-336-8970.

  • If you enroll in your attendance area school and live a certain distance from school, the district provides transportation. 

  • If you enroll in one of our three magnet schools (Grant, Nettleton or Lowell), and live a certain distance from school, the district provides transportation.

  • If you enroll in a school outside your attendance area, and it is not a magnet school, you provide transportation for your student. 

Parents wishing to send their student to a school outside their attendance area may do so by filling out and submitting a transfer form.  Forms are available from any school in our district or from the School Operations office at Historic Old Central High School.

Please visit the Minnesota Department of Education's website for information regarding Open Enrollment .  Duluth schools welcome children from other Minnesota communities.

Regardless of which school you choose, rest-assured your child will receive the strong, nurturing, well-rounded education he needs to succeed.
