STEP #1:  At the District Administration Office

The process for enrollment to Columbia School District is initiated by a visit or phone call to the Administration Office located in the back of Columbia Central High School at 11775 Hewitt Road (517) 592-6641.

Children entering kindergarten must be 5 years old by December 1st of the school year. The Columbia School District is a participant in the Schools of Choice program. Non-resident students will be admitted if the proper paperwork and timelines are met. Registration forms and further details can be obtained at the District Administration Office or the attending building. Admittance under this program will be based on enrollment figures at the particular grade levels and availability of room.

SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT

The Columbia School District has two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, alternative high school, preschool programs, adult education (GED completion) and community education opportunities. At the elementary level, students are assigned to a particular building based on the location of your residence and the school attendance boundaries. Please contact the Administration Office for this information at (517) 592-6641.

STEP #2:  At the School

Registration is completed at the assigned school.

EARLY REGISTRATION FOR KINDERGARTENERS

Each spring, we encourage parents to pre-register their prospective kindergarteners for the coming year. This helps us to plan our school staff needs and provides parents with important information to prepare for that crucial first year of school. Watch the website for Kindergarten Open House dates in March or April. Call the District Administration Office or the elementary buildings for more details. (Requirements to register include proof of hearing and vision testing.)
