Enrollment

Applying

DC Wildflower PCS participates in the MySchool DC Common Lottery process. Lottery matches and initial waitlists are available on March 27, 2026. Post-lottery applications will be accepted for potential families beginning March 27, 2026. You can apply if your child meets the age eligibility guidelines: 

  • for PK3: turn 3 on or before September 30, 2026

  • for PK4: turn 4 on or before September 30, 2026

  • for K: turn 5 on or before September 30, 2026

Families must also prove residency (DC or out-of-state) to complete the enrollment process within their assigned offer window.

Enrollment Step 1: Accepting Your Offer

Once you've been matched with DC Wildflower, we ask that you complete the DC Wildflower Seat Acceptance form. This form can only be completed once a seat offer has been sent to you from the MySchoolDC system. ​Completing the seat accceptance form confirms:

  1. you are accepting a space at DC Wildflower: The Riverseed School or DC Wildflower: blue montessori;

  2. you are giving up your child’s space and feeder pattern at their current school (you will still maintain rights to your K-12 DCPS in-boundary schools); and

  3. your child will be removed from the waitlists of schools on your My School DC application you ranked below the school at which you are enrolling.

 

Upon accepting your seat, The DC Wildflower team will support you in completing your child's enrollment​.

Enrollment Step 2: Completing Registration

After completing the Seat Acceptance Form you must submit your registration form that will ensure accurate registration into our student information system and learning management platforms, PowerSchool and Transparent Classroom respectively.

Early Childhood Transition Plan

We know that our students entering PK3 and PK4 come from a variety of educational settings including public school programs, Headstart programs, childcare centers, and home daycares. For some, DC Wildflower will be their first educational experience outside of the home. We are committed to meeting all students where they are and to supporting a positive transition to our school program. Our Early Childhood Transition Plan is designed to provide you with information so that your know what to expect with the transition to school.
