Gaston School District Open Enrollment Information

Gaston School District is participating in open enrollment. The Oregon legislature passed HB 3681 allowing students to attend the school district of their choice, providing the school chooses to participate in open enrollment. We are excited to offer students the opportunity to attend Gaston Schools through the open enrollment plan kindergarten through 12th grade.
