Jeffco Public Schools

2021-22 Enrollment

Please complete your application through EnrollJeffco. Through EnrollJeffco, you will be able to apply for choice enrollment for Deer Creek Middle School - STEM Program, Deer Creek Middle School - Humanities Program, or both.  

For information about our pathways, please visit the STEM and Humanities Page

To enroll, follow the instructions below or watch this screencast.

For families that live in the Deer Creek attendance area
(Stony Creek and Ute Meadows areas)

As resident families, 5^th graders are guaranteed their choice of pathway in 6^th grade at Deer Creek during the 1st round of choice enrollment because Deer Creek is their “home” school.

• In EnrollJeffco, the default choice is Deer Creek Middle School - STEM Program. 
• To choose the Humanities Program, in the Intent to Enroll window select No or I'm Not Sure.  
  • In the next window, search for "Deer Creek" and select Deer Creek Middle School - Humanities Program
  • Complete the rest of the enrollment process
  • As a Deer Creek area resident, this will change your automatic acceptance from STEM to Humanities.
    
    
    

For all families who reside outside the Deer Creek attendance area, applications received at any time during the Round 1 window are entered into a lottery, based on the following priorities established by Jeffco:

1. Jeffco Resident with a currently enrolled sibling who will also be attending Deer Creek in 2021-22
2. Child of a full-time staff member at Deer Creek
3. Jeffco Resident and currently attending Stony Creek or Ute Meadows through choice-enrollment
4. Any other Jeffco Resident
5. Non-Jeffco Resident with a currently enrolled sibling who will also be attending Deer Creek in 2021-22
6. Non-Jeffco Resident and currently attending Stony Creek or Ute Meadows through choice-enrollment
7. Any other Non-Jeffco Resident

After January 15, Jeffco will process all choice enrollment applications and contact families with their status and information for next steps.

For choice-enrolled students, we are pleased to partner with Schoolpool, a carpool networking system. Schoolpool is a service of Way to Go, a federally funded program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG). It's free and there is no obligation to participate. Using a secure website, parents register to find and contact other interested Deer Creek families in their area to set up carpools. For more information about the service, visit Schoolpool. Please contact the Deer Creek office to receive the enrollment code required to join our Schoolpool group.
