Parents with school-age children who are new to the community, and parents moving within the school district are encouraged to register as soon as possible. Parents 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.
School registration for grades 4K through 5 is accomplished any time throughout the year by visiting the WRPS Enrollment Center located at 311 Lincoln Street. Questions may be directed to Enrollment coordinator Jean Westover at jean.westover@wrps.net.
Students in grades 6-12 can register during the school year and approximately two weeks before school begins. To make a registration appointment, please contact Registrar Sheila Lynn at WRAMS for grades 6-8 by calling 715-424-6740 or email her at sheila.lynn@wrps.net, and for grades 9-12 at Lincoln High School contact Registrar Leah Russo by calling 715-424-6750 or email her at leah.russo@wrps.net.
A certified birth certificate, baptismal certificate, passport, or immigration certificate, as well as medical record is required by law. A recent report card from the last school attended is helpful. At the elementary level, a child must be four years old on or before September 1 for entrance into the 4K program, 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.
Since good physical health is vital for a successful school career, it is strongly recommended that children have a physical examination prior to entering kindergarten, third, sixth, and ninth grades. Wisconsin Statute requires that all students in grades K-12 be immunized against Diphtheria, Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps, Pertussis, Polio, Rubella, Tetanus, and Varicella (chicken pox).
At registration time, parents will be given a form which will request information on the dates (day, month, and year) when the immunizations were administered. Registration forms can also be found in the left panel of this webpage.
Early admission procedures at the elementary level begin with a phone call to the Pupil Services Department at 715-424-6724 to explain your request, and additional paperwork will then need to be completed. The deadline to request early admission is on May 1st prior to the beginning of the school year.
As outlined in Board Policy 426, homeless children and youth will be immediately enrolled and permitted to attend classes and school activities with their non-homeless peers. 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.
