Kindergarten through Sixth Grade Enrollment
Enrollment Age Requirements
A recently enacted Michigan law amended the Revised School Code (MCL380.1147), which changed the minimum age requirement for a child enrolling in kindergarten. Children must turn 5 years of age on or before September 1, in order to register for school.
If you are interested in the preschool programs available at Forest Hills, please visit the Child Services website.
Children who turn 5 after September 1, and not later than December 1, may request an early entrance waiver to attend kindergarten by filling out the Kindergarten Early Entrance Waiver Form.
