Regular Application Period 02/03/25-04/30/25

Parents have a right to request their children attend a different school district other than where they reside through the Wisconsin Open Enrollment Program. The Open Enrollment program allows students outside  Valders Area School District to enroll in our schools without paying tuition.

The open enrollment application period for the 2025-26 school year is open from February 3-April 30, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Please click here for the DPI Open Enrollment page and application.  Please note that the application will be available on February 3rd.  Please call 920-775-9500 x 5000 with Open Enrollment Questions.

Alternative Application

Parents normally apply for open enrollment for the following school year during a three-month application period which begins in February and ends on the last weekday in April. However, 2011 Act 114 established a procedure by which parents may apply for open enrollment outside of the regular application period. Alternative Applications for the 2024-25 school year will be available on July 1, 2024.

There are seven circumstances under which a parent may submit an alternative application:

  • The pupil’s resident school district determines that the pupil is a victim of a violent crime.
  • The pupil is or has been homeless in the current or preceding school year.
  • The pupil has been the victim of repeated bullying or harassment that has been reported to the resident school district and continues in spite of action taken.
  • The pupil’s place of residence has changed due to the parent’s military orders.
  • The pupil moved into this state within the past 30 days.
  • The pupil’s place of residence has changed as a result of a court order or custody agreement, or the pupil was placed in a foster home or with a person other than the pupil’s parent, or removed from a foster home or the home of a person other than the pupil’s parent.
  • The pupil’s parent and the nonresident and resident school districts agree that attending the nonresident school district is in the best interests of the pupil.

Click here to access the Open Enrollment Alternative Application on the DPI website on or after July 1, 2024.
