Turner Creek Elementary

If Turner Creek Elementary is your child’s assigned (base) school, WCPSS directs families to enroll online first and then complete registration with the base school (including bringing/uploading required documents). (wcpss.net) For the 2026–27 school year, key dates listed by WCPSS include: Oct. 15, 2025 (pre-registration opens), Oct. 15, 2025–Jan. 22, 2026 (magnet/year-round Choice application window), Feb. 19, 2026 (choice results notification), and March 2–13, 2026 (transfer window). (wcpss.net) Enrollment requirements referenced by WCPSS include a certified birth certificate, proof of Wake County domicile (e.g., utility bill/lease/settlement statement), photo ID for the birth parent/legal custodian, immunization record, and custody documents if applicable; a North Carolina health assessment is required for children entering NC public schools for the first time. (wcpss.net) If you are requesting Turner Creek as a year-round “choice” school (i.e., it is not your base), you must be enrolled in WCPSS first and have an active student ID before applying; WCPSS notes it can take 24–48 hours for the student ID to become active in the application portal. (wcpss.net) For year-round choice seats, students not selected for their first-choice school are placed on a non-numeric waiting list (an “applicant pool”) that is reviewed in the spring, and families are notified via their online account or email if a seat later becomes available. (wcpss.net) Year-round application priority categories are listed as: entering-grade siblings joining a sibling already assigned to the requested school (guaranteed), matching calendars between elementary and middle school siblings, students living in low socioeconomic-status areas, rising 6th graders continuing a year-round calendar into middle school, and students assigned to crowded schools; 10% of seats are filled via lottery.
