Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Davis Drive Elementary admissions are handled through Wake County Public School System (WCPSS): first use the WCPSS address look-up tool to confirm your child’s assigned base school, then complete the online enrollment for the current school year. (wcpss.net) After submitting the form, wait for the base school to contact you with next steps, and be prepared to provide a certified birth certificate, proof of Wake County domicile, parent/legal custodian photo ID, immunization record, and any custody documents; NC law also requires a health assessment (within 12 months of starting) and proof of required vaccinations. (wcpss.net) Key WCPSS dates include: Oct. 15, 2025 (Kindergarten & pre-registration opens for 2026–27), Dec. 15–17, 2025 (initial school assignment notification), and March 2–13, 2026 (transfer application window). (wcpss.net) If you’re trying to attend a non-base option (magnet or year-round), the Choice application window runs Oct. 15, 2025–Jan. 22, 2026, with results notification shown as Feb. 19, 2026 on the year-round enrollment page. (wcpss.net) Waitlists for choice applications are handled as non-numeric “applicant pools” for your first-choice school, reviewed in the spring, and you may be assigned to another choice while remaining in the pool for your first choice. (wcpss.net) Priority categories depend on the program (e.g., year-round priorities include guaranteed entering-grade sibling priority and other factors, while magnet priorities consider socioeconomic-status factors and may include sibling/pathway priorities for certain programs).
