Wentzville School District Announces...

New 2012-2013 School Boundaries 

During the regular monthly meeting of the Wentzville School District Board of Education on January 19, the Board voted unanimously to accept the School Assignment Committee’s proposal for new school assignments beginning in the 2012-13 school year. Beginning in the fall 2012, students who will graduate in 2017 (current seventh graders) and beyond will be assigned to middle school and high school based on the following:

•       Students residing in the boundaries of Heritage Campus, Lakeview, and Peine Ridge Elementary Schools will go to Wentzville Middle School and Holt High School.

•       Students residing in the boundaries of Boone Trail, Duello, and Green Tree Elementary Schools will go to South Middle School and Timberland High School.

•       Students residing in the boundaries of Crossroads, Discovery Ridge and Prairie View Elementary Schools will go to Frontier Middle School and the new high school on Sommers Road.

Current sixth graders (Class of 2018) and current seventh graders (Class of 2017) impacted by this change may apply for consideration to stay at their 2011-2012 assigned middle school using special intra-district transfer guidelines. These guidelines do not include district transportation. These requests can be made by email, letter, or by using the form available in each school or on the District website. If granted, the transfer would only apply for middle school and the affected student would still attend their assigned high school under the new alignment.

Children currently in grades five through 11, who will have a sibling at another high school (i.e. a student at Timberland and Holt or a student at Timberland and the new high school on Sommers Road), may apply using the special intra-district guidelines to have all siblings go to the same high school (all to Holt High School or all to Timberland High School). Transportation may be provided under the special intra-district guidelines if transportation service to the neighborhood includes the requested destination campus in any given year. No student currently enrolled in high school during the 2011-2012 school year can apply for transfer under this school assignment proposal.

The District will communicate directly with the families who will be impacted by the school assignment changes to be sure that they have been notified and informed of their options. All of this information and the special transfer request forms are posted on the District website, www.wentzville.k12.mo.us. All impacted students will have the option to apply to have a change in school assignment. All intra-district transfer requests for students impacted by the school assignment changes must be submitted by March 1, 2012 for consideration for the 2012-13 school year, and the District will respond to all requests by March 15, 2012. Completed forms may be emailed to marciamoe@wentzville.k12.mo.us or mailed to Administrative Services, One Campus Drive, Wentzville, MO 63385.
