Calendar and Choice Programs

Calendar Choice and Specialized Academic Programs

Under Board Policy 4125.3.B.1, a separate transfer window for designated magnet, year-round calendar, or other choice program has been established. All applications to transfer to a Choice School must be submitted during the January 1–February 28, 2025 window. For purposes of this policy, the following programs will be considered as "Choice":

Hillsborough Elementary Year-Round Program:

  • Hillsborough Elementary School (HES) does not have a base attendance zone. 
  • The first priority for students to be assigned to HES for 2025–26 will be those students already attending HES during the 2024–25 school year.
  • Incoming Kindergarten siblings of students already attending HES will be accepted into the school prior to other families requesting re-assignment at HES.
  • Students moving into Orange County Schools after the school year has started may request admission into HES.
  • Students requesting admission to HES must meet all other enrollment and eligibility criteria.
