FWCS parents who submitted a school choice lottery application by the Jan. 13 deadline are invited to the School Choice Lottery in-person at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Wendy Y. Robinson Family and Community Engagement Center, 230 E. Douglas Ave.  

The lottery will be held for schools and grade levels that had more applicants than space available. Parents who attend in-person will be able to learn right away if their child was selected for their preferred school. Those unable to attend in-person will receive the results of the lottery on the MyFWCS Parent Portal on Friday, Feb. 3.

 Parents will need to accept or decline their student’s lottery award online via the myFWCS portal by Friday, March 3. A student birth certificate and parent/guardian ID will be required to complete registration for any student new to FWCS.
