Only a Parent or Legal Guardian may enroll a student. In addition, certified copies of court orders or placement papers are required, if applicable (i.e., Appointment of Legal Guardianship, Divorce Decree, etc.)

If a certified copy of the birth certificate is unavailable, another form of reliable proof (e.g., passport or visa) can be given with a notarized Record of Birth 

Students must be five (5) years old by December 1 and less than twenty (20) years old on September 1 for the enrolling school year.

Residency is based on where a parent/legal guardian owns and/or physically resides. Working within the Ann Arbor School District boundaries or owning rental property does not constitute residency. The following residency documents will be accepted and the district reserves the right to verify residency information provided.  Students enrolled under the Schools of Choice or Non-Resident Child of Employee options must also provide these proofs for their out-of-district residence.

1. HOMEOWNER: Parent/Legal Guardian’s current Property Tax Statement, Purchase Agreement, Closing Papers or Deed (must include name and address of parent/legal guardian);
   or CURRENT LEASE/RENTAL AGREEMENT: Parent/Legal Guardian’s “legal and/or notarized” Lease/Rental Agreement (must include name and address of parent/legal guardian, landlord or rental company name and phone number, address of rental, lease start and end date, and all appropriate signatures).
   
   
2. CURRENT UTILITY BILLS OR SET-UP CONFIRMATIONS (1):  This must include the name and address of parent/legal guardian and recent date. Acceptable utility bills include: Gas, Electric, Cable TV, Internet or Landline Phone.

Michigan Public Health code states that a child enrolling in Kindergarten, 7th grade, or newly enrolled in the district in any grade, must show proof of required immunizations or a waiver by the first day of school. All immunization information must be legible – if a student is not immunized, a current waiver release must be provided from the Washtenaw County Health Department.

Michigan Public Health code requires the screening of children’s hearing and vision prior to the start of Young 5s/Kindergarten.
