SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
Any student seeking entrance into the Evansville Community School District must meet the entrance age and reside within the establishment boundaries of the District, except for those whose enrollment is permitted under the Wisconsin Public School Open Enrollment Law and those accepted as nonresident tuition students.
Students seeking entrance to Evansville Schools under the Wisconsin Public School Open Enrollment program must do so by completing the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Application Form PI-9410.
It shall be the responsibility of a student’s parent/guardian or a person of legal age entering the School District to complete official registration forms prior to assignment by the principal to a grade level or schedule of classes. Each building principal shall have authority to determine the grade level at which a student shall be placed. The district administrator, or designee, shall assign a student to a school.
Students transferring to Evansville from other public or private school systems must provide a transcript of academic accomplishments at the previous school, or the address from which this data may be secured. Students entering the District from a home-based private educational program must provide any available academic information and may be required to take appropriate academic tests to assist in making a placement. All students must satisfy minimum standard for admission to high school.
Parents/guardians of students admitted to the District’s elementary and secondary schools shall present immunization records as required by law. In addition, students are encouraged to have a complete physical prior to entering school.
The District will not enroll any student who has been expelled from another district during the time period of this expulsion. If there is no firm date set on the length of the expulsion by the expelling district, this matter should be resolved between the student and the other district involved.
