Where is my neighborhood school?

To learn where your neighborhood school is located, use our Map Based School Locator. 

If you do not live in the Cherry Creek School District or want a different school than your neighborhood school, the School Choice process closed on May 31st. The window to apply for the 2025-26 school year will be December 1st to May 31. Learn more about the process here. 

What do I need to do to formally enroll my child(ren) for the 2024-25 school year?

Cherry Creek Schools uses an online enrollment system. Current students do not need to re-enroll in the district, but new and current parents and families must complete Parent Forms to ensure correct contact information, medical needs, transportation needs, and more. Parent Forms open on July 8. Access Parent Forms through the tile in my.cherrycreekschools.org and find helpful guides to Parent Forms here.

Where can I find information on preschool and early childhood education information?

The Cherry Creek School District will offer free, half-day pre-kindergarten at all elementary schools in the Cherry Creek School District starting in the 2024-25 school year.

Pre-Kindergarten will be offered part-time (10 hours per week) in an AM session (8am-10:55am), or PM session (11:50am-2:45pm) format. AM/PM assignments will be determined by the school's principal.
