ENROLLMENT FOR GRADES Y5-12TH

If you are enrolling in Y5 or kindergarten, this spring your child will be invited to a screening event at your assigned school.  Following this event, elementary leaders will review readiness factors such as screener observations, birthdate, and parent input to make a placement recommendation in one of our early childhood programs. ZPS is committed to working with families to provide the smoothest possible transition to elementary school. 

ZPS online enrollment for the 24-25 school year is now open!

If you have a NEW STUDENT to enroll for Zeeland Public Schools click here to Enroll Now! If your student already attends ZPS in grades Y5-12, there is no need to re-enroll (if your child is currently at ECC, you do need to enroll). PLEASE NOTE: A laptop is optimal for online registration. We are seeing some issues with smartphones/tablets not being user-friendly for this application process.    If you must use a phone or tablet, please use Firefox or Chrome as your browser; this application is not compatible with Safari.
