You can do the lottery with any address. If you win, then you must prove residency, which means paying taxes, having a car registered here, etc. You can always ask for an extension to prove residency if you are sure you will enroll and have a compelling reason. Good luck!

How does that work? I assume we don't have to take any action until we have our residency documents ready, and then just enroll at the neighborhood school, no myschooldc action needed?
Talk to the My School staff. I think you are correct - but never hurts to check in with them. When you enroll your kid IB (if you don't get lottery schools), you'll just use your permanent address.
