* Placement in an elementary building will be made based on class size and availability, not necessarily on attendance area

Birth Certificate
The Michigan Missing Children's Act, (MCL 380.1135), requires that you provide a certified copy of the child's birth certificate when you are enrolling in school. We will return the certified birth certificate to you. If you do not meet this requirement within 30 days, the school must notify the local law enforcement agency.

Immunization Requirements
If your child is entering a Michigan school for the first time, please have your health care provider complete the immunization portion of the Health Appraisal form, or provide the school with a record showing that your child has received all of the required immunization. Please refer to the chart below for the required immunizations and the time frame in which they must be administered.

The Health Appraisal form or other proof of immunizations must be returned to the school your child will be attending on or before the first day your child attends school in East Grand Rapids Public Schools.
