We have four elementary schools (grades K-5) at Marquette Area Public Schools (MAPS): Cherry Creek Elementary, Graveraet Elementary, Sandy Knoll Elementary and Superior Hills Elementary. If you are not sure which one is your resident school, you can call our Superintendent’s office at 906-225-4200 for assistance. We have one middle school (grades 6-8): Bothwell Middle School (BMS). We have two high schools (grades 9-12): Marquette Senior High School (MSHS) and Marquette Alternative High School (MAHS).

Resident Families (families who live within the MAPS District boundaries)

Thank you for enrolling your child for the 2022-2023 school year at MAPS. Once you have completed registration, you will receive a call from your resident elementary school to schedule an appointment to finalize enrollment. Enrollment must be finalized before sending your child to school. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to meeting with you.

Non-Resident Families (families who live outside the MAPS District boundaries but within the Marquette-Alger RESA)

2022-23 Non-resident Schools of Choice:

There are openings for non-residents  in grades K-12 for the 1st semester of the 2022-2023 school year.  Students must reside within the Marquette-Alger RESA to be eligible for School of Choice at MAPS.  Application forms may be obtained at any MAPS school building, at the Superintendent’s office, or downloaded from the MAPS website. Completed elementary School of Choice Applications should be submitted to the Superintendent’s office; middle school applications should be submitted to BMS; and high school applications should be submitted to either MSHS or MAHS.

If you are applying for grades K-5 as a non-resident, you can get the enrollment process started by  completing our online registration.  You should select "Don't Know" for entity.  Our Central Office will follow up with you to schedule an appointment.  At that time, you will need to fill out a Non-Resident School of Choice form, as well as bring an original birth certificate, shot record, and proof of your address. 

If you are applying for grades 6-12 as a non-resident,  you are required to submit a completed School of Choice Application while the School of Choice window is open prior to completing  online registration.  Once your School of Choice Application has been approved, you should complete online registration and schedule an appointment with BMS, MSHS, or MAHS to finalize enrollment.  Enrollment must be finalized before sending your child to school. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to meeting with you.

Families Moving to Area

If you are moving to the area but do not yet have a Marquette resident address, please wait until you have a Marquette resident address to complete this online enrollment application.

Kindergarten/Junior Kindergarten Age Requirement

If you are registering for kindergarten, please note that according to Michigan Law (MCL 380.1447) children are required to be five years old on or before December 1 of the school calendar year in which the child attends school to attend kindergarten. This minimum age requirement is the same for entering junior kindergarten as it is for entering kindergarten.  You will need to complete a Kindergarten Waiver Request if your child is not five years of age on September 1, but will be five years of age not later than December 1 of the school year you are enrolling in.
