9 The process is quite literal: index cards containing numbers are drawn f rom a basket and assigned to applications to establish the order of consideration for each grade level. Following the drawing, acceptance notifications are sent in the order established until the available seats have been filled. If there are more applicants than can initially be accommodated, the remaining applicants may be placed on a waiting list in the order established through the drawing, and families are notified of their status and the anticipated timeline for future decisions. If an accepted applicant decides not to enroll, or if additional space becomes available, further rounds of acceptance notifications may occur during the spring. The district's goal is to complete as many first- round decisions as possible before Kindergarten Signing Day and Welcome Night for Incoming Freshmen & Parents. These events are typically held in late February or early March, and this timeline for notification allows for applicant participation in these important transition activities alongside their classmates and cohort. Every effort is made to complete all School of Choice notifications before the end of the current school year, providing families with timely information and allowing both families and the district to plan appropriately for the upcoming year. Based on enrollment data f rom the past two school years and the projected enrollment for 2026-27, nonresident students represent approximately 26% of the FSD's total K-12 enrollment, and of that number, approximately 8% are the children of FSD employees who live outside the district. Historically, the majority of students entering Frankenmuth High School through School of Choice in ninth grade have attended area parochial schools during grades K-8 and wish to continue into high school alongside members of their established peer cohort. School of Choice describes the process through which a student initially enrolls in the Frankenmuth Schools, but there are no designators that identify students' enrollment process. Once enrolled, all of our students learn together, participate together, and grow together as Frankenmuth Eagles.
