- Alachua County Public Schools families can enroll students in grades pre-K through 10th in magnet programs for the 2026-27 school year until Jan. 12.
- Current ACPS magnet students returning to the same program for 2026-27 do not need to reapply, while new applicants must use specific login credentials or forms.
Alachua County Public Schools (ACPS) families with students in grades pre-K through 10th have until Monday, Jan. 12, to enroll their children in academic/career tech magnet programs for the 2026-27 school year.
Parents or guardians of current ACPS students, including those in Alachua eSchool and ACPS charter schools, can apply here by using their student’s Active Directory username he or she uses at school. This, according to the ACPS website, is often the child’s first initial, middle initial and last name. The password is the student’s birthdate in all numbers format.
Except for incoming kindergarten students, families of any child who is not currently enrolled in an Alachua County Public School (including Alachua eSchool and charter schools) will need to complete the required non-ACPS form as part of the magnet application process, according to the ACPS website.
It should be noted that if a student is currently enrolled in an ACPS magnet program and is returning to the same one for the 2026-27 school year, no new application is needed.
According to the ACPS website, “all application-related correspondence may come from registration.Alachua@registrationgateway.net.” To make sure families receive important updates, the district encourages them to add this email address to their contact list.
Those with questions can email alachuamagnets@alachuaschools.net.
