Commonly Asked Questions

How does School of Choice work?

Districts across West Michigan have agreed to accept and release students across district boundaries provided students meet the requirements. Parents will complete the Schools of Choice Application as part of the online registration.

If one child is accepted, will their siblings be accepted?

Yes, siblings are accepted provided they meet the requirements. Once children are enrolled they are considered Jenison Public Schools students until graduation.

Can I request a specific school building?

Yes, we will make every effort to honor your request. If classes are full at your requested building you will be notified and we will work with you prior to placing your child at another building.

Is transportation available for School of Choice students?

Students who live outside of the Jenison Public Schools enrollment boundaries are not normally transported. However, this decision is based on whether the student can be picked up at an existing bus stop. Our transportation department will work with you in determining if transportation is available.
