*A Tier 1 student must be enrolled in a NJ public school in his or her resident school district for the entire year (2012-13) immediately preceding enrollment in a Choice district. If applying for kindergarten, the student must be attending his or her resident district’s preschool, or if no district preschool exists, he/she must have a sibling currently attending the Choice district to be considered Tier 1.

**Tier 2 students include NJ residents who have not attended their resident school for the entire year immediately prior to enrollment in the Choice district and do not otherwise meet the requirements for Tier 1. NOTE: not all Choice districts accept applications from Tier 2 students. Contact the desired Choice districts to find out if they will accept applications from Tier 2 students.

***If the district of residence fails to provide confirmation of student enrollment/eligibility to the parent or guardian by 11/26/12, the student may apply to the Choice program without it.
