Registration Dates & Requirements

2026-27 registration will open on February 2nd at 8:00 AM. All registrations for PK - 12th grade will be submitted online!

Families with school-age children are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible. Families with questions about school boundaries may call the Thomas A. Lenk Educational Services Center, 715-424-6700, for assistance. If a student has special education needs, additional information is available by contacting Pupil Services at 715-424-6724.

KG - Grade 1 Age Requirements

A child must be five years old on or before September 1 for entrance into kindergarten, or six years old on or before September 1 for entrance into first grade. Kindergarten students who attended 4K in the WRPS school district during the previous school year do not need to re-enroll.

What you will need to enroll

Students, in all grades, who have never attended WRPS will need a birth certificate, baptismal certificate, passport, OR immigration certificate in order for us to verify birth information. This document can be uploaded in Step 1 of the online enrollment process. We need to receive this document before we can proceed with processing your child's enrollment.

Families must provide proof of residency for the students being enrolled. Residency is the address at which the child physically resides, keeps their personal belongings and receives mail. This residency must be a street address; Post Office boxes are not accepted.

Any of the following will be accepted as proof of residency:

Valid Driver's License with matching address
Most recent property tax statement
Current signed residential lease (including a landlord's name, address, phone number, and lease start date and end date)
Rent payment receipt
Current utility bill (gas, electric, water or phone)
Current auto or health insurance document
Current state or federal benefit statement

Please upload your proof of residency document during Step 2 of the enrollment process. Proof of residency must be received before we can proceed with processing your child's enrollment.

Note: If you are not able to upload the required documents, please complete the steps in online enrollment, submit the enrollment, and then present the documents to our District Enrollment office at 311 Lincoln St, Wisconsin Rapids, WI.

As outlined in Board Policy, homeless children and youth will be immediately enrolled and permitted to attend classes and school activities. Enrollment will not be denied due to the lack of any document normally required for enrollment. Questions about the WRPS Families in Transition Program may be directed to the coordinator at 715-315-9271 or by email at homelesscontact@wrps.net.
