Updated over a week ago

Step 1: Apply

It's likely that you've completed this step since you're on this page! We are excited that you have chosen to participate in the OpenEd program! After you apply, you'll hear from us shortly after about your acceptance. Once you receive that, you're ready to enroll!

  • Note: You'll receive one "acceptance" email per family. If you have multiple students, they're all covered with your acceptance.

Step 2: Enroll

Once your student’s application has been processed, the next step is to complete your enrollment tasks directly in the OpenEd platform. You'll receive specific login credentials to access your portal.

Each task will be clearly defined in the platform, so you can go through at your pace, but please be mindful of due dates related to each task.

You will need to submit the following documents as you enroll your student(s):

  • Birth certificate

  • Student SSN and Social Security Card

  • Up-to-date immunization record OR Vaccine Education dated and notarized

  • Completed and signed Petition for Transfer

  • Proof of Arkansas residency

    • Current AR driver's license, state-issued ID, current utility bill (past 60 days) or property-tax bill

  • Special Education documents (if applicable)

    • Active IEP / 504 Plan

Important Notes:

  • You may notice that some tasks are locked. This is by design. You will be notified as soon as they are unlocked and require action.

  • Students in Arkansas cannot enroll in OpenEd without a petition for transfer.

  • Once you submit your documents or information for review, our team will be hard-at-work reviewing the information! If for any reason we have questions or need clarifying information, we'll reach out directly to you.

​In the meantime, we'd love to connect with you!

Step 3: Design

Congratulations! Once your student’s enrollment tasks are all completed and approved, you will have access to start designing your student's personalized education plan! Information about this will unlock when we're ready for you to take action!
