School Choice
Monomoy Regional School District has announced school choice openings for the 2026-2027 school year for students residing in towns other than Harwich and Chatham. Monomoy Regional School District offers a supportive learning environment that promotes growth and achievement, small class sizes, full-day kindergarten, community service learning, and more.
Interested families can submit an application form online from April 6, 2026, through May 4, 2026. Please note that the school choice openings are not guaranteed and may be closed when grade levels reach capacity. Notifications will be emailed to applicants for Grades 1 and up by May 8, 2026. Applicants for Kindergarten slots will be notified over the summer. Applications received after May 4, 2026, will be considered on a space-available basis. School Choice openings at each school are determined by the Monomoy Regional School Committee each spring based on resident enrollment and space available at each grade level. School Choice acceptances will be determined by lottery if the number of applications within each grade exceeds the number of seats available.

Monomoy Regional School District currently participates in the School Choice program. MRSD offers a supportive learning environment that promotes growth and achievement, small class sizes, full-day kindergarten, community service learning, and more. School Choice openings at each school are determined by the Monomoy Regional School Committee each spring based on current enrollment and space available at each grade level. All School Choice applicants must first register in their home district before applying for School Choice, including those registering for Kindergarten. School Choice acceptances will be determined by lottery if the number applications within each grade exceeds the number of seats available.

School Choice applications will not be accepted after the school year has begun.
Transportation for School Choice students
MRSD is not able to provide dedicated bus transportation for School Choice students. In order to help support families, we do offer our School Choice students at MRMS and MRHS the ability to ride a Monomoy bus to a community stop that may be easier for families to access. This is only available to middle and high school students in order to ensure the safety of our younger students. School Choice families can request a community bus stop for middle or high school students by completing the form here. You will be notified when your child is placed on a route, approximately 3 weeks after the start of school.
