Option 1: Based on the student’s primary address, a student will be placed in an MMSD school serving that 4K attendance area.
Transportation is provided if the distance between the pupil’s residence and the school s/he attends exceeds 1 ½ miles measured by the usual travel route, or if the routes to the school are judged unusually hazardous by the Board of Education (BOE).
Option 2: Families may designate a different pick up/drop-off address from their primary address (for example, a day care location). This address must be a verified address in the MMSD school district. Based on the pick-up address, a student will be placed at an MMSD site serving that 4K attendance area.
Transportation is provided if the distance between this residence and the school s/he attends exceeds 1 ½ miles measured by the usual travel route, or if the routes to the school are judged unusually hazardous by the Board of Education (BOE).
Option 3: If no transportation is needed, families may choose from any MMSD school site or ECE center that has available space. Please note: If families choose an ECE center, the student must also enroll in and be accepted to that site (see #8).
If a student attends an MMSD elementary school for 4K that is not in their home attendance area, they are not guaranteed a 5K placement at the same school. 5K school placement is based on the home attendance area. Families must apply for internal transfer if they want their child to attend 5K at a school other than in their home attendance area.
