If a family missed the lottery application deadlines, they can submit a post-lottery application today. The application is available in English and Spanish. Application instructions are available in AmharicFrenchChinese and Vietnamese and we have a multilingual hotline to support. 

Post-lottery applications are automatically added to schools’ waitlists in the order they are received and below applicants who applied by the lottery deadlines. The only exception to this is for applicants that qualify for a lottery preference. Learn more here.

Questions? Contact the My School DC Hotline Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at (202) 888-6336 or email info.myschooldc@dc.gov
