Open Enrollment Process

Open enrollment occurs annually for the month of February. Class sizes are limited, which sometimes means students new to the school may be put into a lottery if there are more applicants than spots available in particular grades at the close of the Open Enrollment Period. When a lottery is necessary, applicants are randomly drawn and the remaining applicants will be randomly selected to be placed on a wait list for the particular grade. New students must complete the Enrollment Application. Applications for new students are available in the following locations:

At the OMPS school office (2699 Island View Road)
Online Enrollment
Completed applications (required for each individual student) will be accepted via email at info@ompschool.org, or through postal service, or in person at:
