Elementary School – If you completed the online Elementary Magnet School Site Placement Accept Form, your student’s information has been sent to the elementary magnet school they will be attending for the 2024-2025 school year.  Your student’s current school will enter the magnet school in PowerSchool as your student’s “next school.”  You can then complete the online "intent to register" for your magnet school for the 2024-2025, and you will receive the summer email from the magnet school regarding completing online registration.

NEIGHBOR SCHOOL MAPS -- The neighbor school area model is new to SLCSD but is an established practice in our neighboring districts.  Parents and students benefit from the predictability and stability offered by assigned school areas.  Families know which school their child will attend based on their residence, reducing uncertainty and facilitating long-term planning.  Identifying school areas also supports transportation planning and efficient bus routing.  Salt Lake City School District's ELP Department strives to offer two gifted & talented screening opportunities to their students.  This happens in Kindergarten and in 3^rd grade.  Substantially more 3^rd grade students are identified as eligible for the Magnet Gifted & Talented classrooms compared to kindergarteners.  We have three Magnet programs that provide full-day services and are taught by teachers who are highly qualified to work with gifted and talented students.  Students identified for Magnet classrooms are assigned to a school based on their neighborhood school area.  Click on the map to find your neighborhood school area.   Area Magnet Schools Map
If your student is identified for Magnet inclusion, and you would your student to attend a different Magnet location, please fill out a transfer request form. Once students within the area are assigned, out of area transfer requests will be processed.  Reach out to the ELP Department at 801-578-8358 with any questions.
