Program of Study
Course Selection and Registration Documents.
Course Selection Process
The Principal and school counselors schedule class meetings to review the Program of Study and review the online course selection form with all students. In these meetings, students have the opportunity to ask questions about electives and other matters pertaining to the course selection process. Students are encouraged to discuss course offerings with their parent/guardian prior to registration day. Further, an evening session is scheduled for parents and guardians of new and current students to provide information so that students can make better scheduling decisions.
Teachers are asked to make recommendations electronically, prior to students gaining access to their online course selection form. Students are encouraged to meet with their teacher if they wish to discuss these recommendations.
Students will access the online registration form through their PowerSchool account on a designated date. The Counseling Department reviews student requests to ensure selections are in the student’s best interest and consistent with graduation requirements. School counselors then meet individually with all students to review course selections. Students will receive their final schedule in August prior to the start of the school year.

School Choice
School Choice Program Information
Updated June 30, 2026: We have now completed our June lottery for School Choice for the 2026-2027 school year. If you applied by June 23rd, we communicated the results with you via email. If you applied after June 23, we will keep your application for consideration in any August lottery. We do not currently foresee opening additional spaces in August, especially in our youngest grades (K-2). That may change, and we will be in touch again in August, regardless of our decisions.
We are now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year! If you complete the online form, please know that we'll automatically incorporate your application into our lotteries in June. If your student receives a "seat" via those lotteries, we'll send an email to the address that you provide with instructions for how to enroll. If your student does not receive a seat, we'll send an email to you in June informing you of that and let you know any possible next steps. Thank you for your interest and patience!
School Choice is a Massachusetts program that allows Massachusetts residents to attend a public school outside of their city or town of residence. Mount Greylock Regional School District participates in the School Choice program and admits a limited number of students under the terms and conditions of the Massachusetts School Choice Law and with the following local conditions:
- The selection of non-resident students for admission is in the form of a random drawing when the number of requests exceeds the number of available spaces within a given school/grade. Siblings of current students do receive preference within any lottery over students without siblings already within the district. The first possibility of acceptance in an upcoming school year takes place during the final week of the current school year (typically one of the final two weeks in June). In order to ensure consideration, please submit your application by June 1st. A second lottery might be conducted during the week immediately preceding the opening of the next school year, based on previously unexpected additional openings.
- Any student who is accepted for admission under the provisions of this policy is entitled to remain in the district through graduation from high school, except if there is a lack of funding for the program. The district does not provide transportation to School Choice students.
- The District affirms its position that it shall not discriminate in the admission of any child on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, age, homelessness, sexual orientation, ancestry, athletic performance, physical handicap, special need, academic performance, or proficiency in the English language.
