Rolling Opt-out Process for Charter Schools
Rolling Opt-out Process for Charter Schools
Kindergarten and first grade students who enrolled in your schools from November 1, 2023 through April 1, 2023 were enrolled in the Save for College Program if their parent/guardian did not opt out during their specific 30-day opt-out period.
The rolling opt-out period for the 2022-23 School Year has ended. Any kindergarten or first grade student who is admitted to your school after April 1, 2023 will have the opportunity to participate or opt out as a first or second grader this fall. For District 30 pilot schools this includes any newly eligible 2nd-5th graders as well.
Guidance on Using ATS for the Opt-Out Process
The DOE ATS Wiki contains detailed instructions on printing personalized opt out letters and guidance for logging opt-out requests.
Participation Status Change
(Cancellation and Re-enrollment)
Participation Status Change
(Cancellation and Re-enrollment)
After a student’s Opt-out Period ends, parent and guardians can choose to cancel their student’s participation in the Save for College Program at any time. Also, if a parent or guardians initially opted out, or at some point canceled their student’s participation in the Program, they can request to enroll (or re-enroll) an eligible student in the Program at any time before the end of their fifth-grade year.
Parents and guardians can update their child’s participation status (Cancel or Enroll/Re-enroll) by filling out a Participation Status Change Form and turning it into their school for data entry and storage in the student’s cumulative folder. The Participation Status Change Form can be found below in the 10 DOE languages.
