Schools of Choice & School Selection
The Waterford School District believes that parents should have the opportunity to provide educational opportunities for their student, including making the decision on which school or school district to attend. In Waterford, there are two different options.
Schools of Choice - Non-Residents
The District believes that offering choice to a broader community outside our traditional boundaries will enrich those students' lives and our District. Parents, who reside outside Waterford School District boundaries, may apply for a Junior Kindergarten or Kindergarten Schools of Choice transfer into the District if space is still available after all internal school selection applications have been considered.
School Selection - For District Residents
Parents who reside within the Waterford School District boundaries may complete a request form for the transfer of their child to another school building. The request will be accepted depending on space availability. Available seats will be reviewed the next school day after the deadline.
The School District will make every effort to communicate the options available to parents and students so that school selection may be based on educational criteria. Students and parents can be assured that high educational expectations, common learning outcomes and quality will be found at any Waterford School they attend.
We offer the same educational program in all of the elementary schools, in all of the middle and high schools. We realize, however, that each child is unique and that learning styles can and do differ. In order for each child to be successful in learning, the educational program offered in elementary, middle and high schools provides different methods of instruction, materials and schedules.
Transportation is provided to children living within the attendance areas of their designated school. Students enrolled in Schools of Choice and School Selection must provide their own transportation.
Statewide Public Health Requirements and Guidelines
Hearing and Vision Screening
Michigan Law (Public Health Code – Act 368 of 1978 and the 1995 Revised School Code, Act 291) mandates hearing and vision screening before kindergarten entry. The goal of the law is early identification and treatment of hearing and vision problems that can affect the child’s ability to learn. Michigan Law also requires school officials to enter vision screening data into the MCIR system for all kindergarten entrants by November 1st of each year.
During enrollment, please review the child’s hearing and vision screening status and inform the parent of the screening mandate. By the first day of school, kindergartners must have within their school record written documentation of a hearing and vision screening completed by a health department technician, a physician or an eye doctor. Although the Public Health Code rules state hearing and vision screening shall be done at least once during the ages of 3 through 5 years, best practice is within six to twelve months of entering kindergarten.
To aid parents in meeting the mandate, the Oakland County Health Division offers free hearing and vision screening, by appointment, for children who live or learn in Oakland County. To ensure that children are screened by the first day of school, parents should be encouraged to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Enclosed is a copy of our flyer which you may duplicate and distribute to parents who wish to register their child for school. Hearing and Vision flyer copies in Spanish and Arabic are also available at www.oakgov.com/health.
Kindergarten Dental Screening Program
Oakland County Health Division offers free Kindergarten dental screenings in Oakland County schools. The Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment law [Public Health Code Act 368 Section 333.9316] was passed to ensure that children entering their first year of school can receive an oral health assessment (dental screening) prior to starting school. Dental cavities are a common childhood illness. A dental screening can help identify oral health problems and assist families in finding dental resources to address those concerns. Oral health is important to overall health and the ability to learn, grow and thrive!
If your school is interested in receiving in-school kindergarten dental screenings, please contact Lisa Dobias at (248) 858-1306 or email at OCHD-Dental@oakgov.com or visit the State of Michigan website at: https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/adult-child-serv/childrenfamilies/familyhealth/oralhealth/koha
