Abbotts Creek Elementary

For families assigned to Abbotts Creek Elementary as their base school, the school directs you to complete the WCPSS online registration first, then schedule an in-person appointment with the school to finish the registration process. (wcpss.net) At the appointment, you must present the completed online registration plus a certified birth certificate, proof of residency (utility bill in a parent’s name), the student’s current immunization record, and the enrolling adult’s photo ID. (wcpss.net) If you are trying to attend Abbotts Creek via the year-round “choice” process, WCPSS requires you to enroll in WCPSS first (to obtain an active student ID) and then apply during the district Choice application window; for 2026–27, key dates shown by WCPSS are Oct. 15, 2025 (K/prereg opens), Oct. 15, 2025–Jan. 22, 2026 (Choice application window), and Feb. 19, 2026 (results/notifications), with a second-round window noted as March 2–13, 2026. (wcpss.net) If you are not offered your first-choice year-round/magnet seat, WCPSS places you on a non-numeric waitlist (“applicant pool”) for your first-choice school and reviews pools in the spring, notifying families via their online account/email if a seat opens. (wcpss.net) Priority for year-round seats is described by WCPSS as: entering-grade siblings joining an already-assigned sibling (guaranteed), matching calendars for elementary/middle siblings, applicants from low socioeconomic status areas, rising 6th graders continuing a year-round calendar, and students assigned to a crowded school—plus 10% of seats filled by lottery; separately, Abbotts Creek has been listed by WCPSS as a capped elementary school (cap maintained/instituted Jan. 7, 2025), meaning even base-assigned students may be overflowed if a grade is full.
