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 the 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.

Kindergarten Registration

If you are a resident of the District and need to register for the 2024-2025 school year, please contact your resident building.

Kindergarten Registration is available online for the 2025-2026 school year soon.  Families are asked to please register their kindergartener during the week of March 10-14, 2025.  Starting at 9:00 am on March 10, 2025, families can access the link to Kindergarten Registration.  There, they will receive complete instructions on how to register.  If you have any questions or are unable to register online, please contact your resident school or the superintendent's office and they will mail a kindergarten registration packet to you.
