Admission to PSI
Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School (PSI) is one of St. Louis Park Public Schools' four elementary schools, and an option you may consider for your kindergarten student.
Per the PSI Admissions policy, PSI has 88 kindergarten spots available each year, with a limited number of those seats available for open enrollment. If more applications are received than spots available, the district conducts a lottery to determine enrollment per School Board Policy #545.
All inquiring PSI applicants must complete the PSI Lottery Request Form. The PSI Lottery Request Form will open on the Enrollment webpage in early January. This form must be completed and submitted by 4pm on Tuesday, Feb 14, 2023 in order for your student to be considered for enrollment at PSI for school year 2023-2024.
If you are not a resident of St. Louis Park, but seeking enrollment at PSI for your student, you must also complete an Open Enrollment Application.
Please note that siblings of students already attending PSI are NOT automatically enrolled. Sibling preference for St. Louis Park residents will be considered ONLY if your family meets criteria as outlined in the PSI Admissions Policy and if the PSI Lottery Request Form is received by stated deadlines.
