2023-2024 Out of District School of Choice Application

The Zeeland Public School District participates in and will accept enrollment of non-resident students for the following schools of choice programs for the 2023-2024 school year as follows:

• Section 105 Program (non-resident students within Ottawa Area ISD) – applications for the start of the 2023-2024 school year accepted from January 3, 2023 – July 31, 2023 @ 3:00 pm.

Applications may be returned via hand delivery, US Mail, fax or email. To avoid an application getting misplaced, please return it to the address on the form, not the building you hope to attend.  Zeeland Public Schools will have unlimited openings for 2023-2024, but program or building preference can not be guaranteed with acceptance.  Building placement will take place in mid to late May for all grades.

For the 2023-24 academic year, families who live within the Zeeland district who would like to apply for an in-district transfer to a building other than their assigned boundary school building are asked to fill out the school building transfer form. The School Building Transfer form (formerly the In District Transfer form) will be available and accepted February 7, 2023 until April 10, 2023 for BRAND NEW transfer requests. All requests received by this date will be reviewed sometime after spring break and you will be notified by email.  Applications received after April 10 will be reviewed at a later date. This form is required for all new in-district transfer requests for the fall of 2023.   Please make sure to read ZPS in-district transfer policy for in district requests. 

Kindergarten Age Waivers / Notification of Early Enrollment forms are also available for those seeking to enroll their child in Kindergarten for 2023-24, but who do not meet the September 1, 2023 guideline.
