Schools of Choice Page

Parents who reside within district boundaries may request that their child attend a Clarkston school outside of their home-school attendance area if the family is moving into a different attendance area or if another student at the same address attends a different school. Parents must complete an “In-District School of Choice Request” and submit it to centralenroll@clarkston.k12.mi.us. Parents will be notified by mid-August regarding the status of their request. Approvals for School of Choice are based on class size. Transportation is the parent/guardian's responsibility. 

If a child turns five years old between June 1– August 31, 2023, he/she is eligible to attend our Young Fives program.

Students turning five years old between September 1 and December 1 attend our Young Fives program to develop:

• Confidence
• Social skills
• Oral language development
• Motor skills
• Attention span
• Independence
• School readiness

Our Young Fives Program is a full-day program with classes located at our elementary sites.

Please contact the principal of the building your child will (or may) be attending. They will be happy to speak with you and answer any questions you may have.

Please contact your home school to discuss this placement decision.

Clarkston residents attending Kindergarten or Young Fives at their home school will be provided district transportation. (District transportation is provided to children living more than one mile from their home school.)

Parents will be required to provide transportation for children attending Kindergarten or Young Fives outside of their home school attendance area.

Kindergarten and Young Fives Orientation is a time for parents to introduce their future Kindergarten or Young Fives student to their enrolled school. Parents receive information about the school and the Kindergarten or Young Fives day. 

It is strong encouraged that students are enrolled by April 14 to ensure their home schools have been notified and can plan appropriately before orientation. More information about orientation will be shared upon enrollment.

Building Orientations will be held at our elementary schools.

• Kindergarten: April 25, 2023 @ 6:30 pm
• Young 5s: May 9, 2023 @ 6:30 pm

The enrollment process does not have to be done again if your student is currently in the Young Fives Program. Your student will be rolled up to Kindergarten in their home school. This is also true for Kindergarten students, they will be rolled up to First Grade.
