All students within the boundaries of Wa-Nee Community Schools are to attend the elementary school within the boundaries of their legal residence.
If parents request to place their child, due to child care, in an elementary school other than their legal residence the following policy applies:
Students may attend the elementary school as determined by the location of their child care under the following provisions:
| | A. | A parent request form for an exception to school boundaries due to child care must be completed each year.
|
| | B. | Parent request forms for an exception to school boundaries are available in each elementary school office and the administration office.
|
| | C. | Requests for a child care exception to school boundaries are completed from May to August, annually.
|
| | | 1. | Requests are held until after elementary school registration is complete in August.
|
| | | 2. | Request forms are approved or denied after elementary school registration and before school begins in August.
|
| | D. | In August, parents register their child at the elementary school of their legal residence and complete the request form, if one has not yet been completed for the upcoming school year.
|
| | E. | Approval for school attendance exceptions due to child care are made on a yearly basis:
|
| | | 1. | Class size is a determining factor in approval of these requests.
|
| | | 2. | Approval for one (1) school year does not necessarily mean approval for additional years.
|
| | | 3. | Every effort is made to accommodate child care needs, but decisions on school attendance are based on the following educational factors:
|
| | | | a. | programs available (special services)
|
| | | | b. | class size
|
| | | | c. | transportation
|
| | F. | Transportation is provided only if the child care facility is located within the elementary school district attended by the student.
|
| | G. | Moving of students from one (1) school to another in the Corporation during the school year is strongly discouraged, and will only be considered for extreme circumstances.
