Families of rising kindergarten through 8th grade students are invited to join the GoCPS team for a family training on the elementary school application process for the 2026–27 school year! Sessions will be recorded and available in English and Spanish on the GoCPS Elementary School Resources site.
GoCPS allows families to explore and apply to nearly every CPS school and program through one online platform. Whether you are a current CPS family or new to the District, GoCPS is the gateway to finding the right K–9 program* for your student.
*Students looking to transfer during 10-12th grade do not apply through GoCPS and can contact schools directly regarding transfer criteria and availability
