Open Enrollment

The open enrollment period for the 2020-21 school year in Wisconsin public schools is February 3- April 30, 2020.

Wisconsin's inter-district public school open enrollment program allows parents to apply for their children to attend school districts other than the one in which they live.  The open enrollment period for Wisconsin begins in February and lasts for several weeks each year.

Who May Participate?

Students in 5-year-old Kindergarten to grade 12 may apply to participate in open enrollment. Open enrollment for pre-kindergarten, 4-year-old kindergarten, and early childhood education is limited. Parents should call their resident school districts to find out if their preschool-aged children qualify for open enrollment.

Open Enrollment Process

Parents interested in enrolling into the OASD can access online application forms and detailed application information through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) website.  The Wisconsin DPI website has many resources available for the open enrollment process.

Part-time Open Enrollment

Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, the Wisconsin DPI began offering a part-time open enrollment program.  Students enrolled in a public school in grades 9-12, may attend a public school in a nonresident school district for the purpose of taking a course offered by that nonresident district.  A student may attend no more than 2 courses at any time in the nonresident district.

Visit the Wisconsin DPI Part-time Open Enrollment website for more information or to access the application form.

Should you have questions, please contact Danielle Chaviano at the District offices, 262-560-2155.

4K and 5K Registration

Registration dates for children in the Oconomowoc Area School District entering four-year-old and five-year-old kindergarten will be posted soon. 

Parents can register their children between the hours of 9 a.m.-3 p.m. for all schools. Children currently enrolled in four-year-old kindergarten in the Oconomowoc Area School District are not required to register as they are already enrolled in our District.  

New-to-the-district parents with children who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before Sept. 1, 2020, will be receiving health, immunization, and school registration forms in the mail.  Those forms should be completed and brought to the school the child will be attending on the registration dates along with a copy of the child’s birth certificate.  State law requires the school to have immunization information on file for all first-time entering students.

Parents with children who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before Sept. 1, 2020, but have not received registration information from the District are urged to contact the elementary school where their child will be attending. If you have questions regarding which school your child should attend, please contact Danielle Chaviano at (262) 560-2155.

All 4K students are required to participate in Developmental Days prior to the start of the 2020-21 school year; however, students currently receiving Early Childhood services need not attend. The Developmental Days will provide families with an opportunity to learn more about their child’s growth and development.  The Developmental Days are designed to educate families about typical child development and growth, develop/expand awareness of available community resources and identify young children in need of further assessment.  Parents will be asked to sign up for a Developmental Day when they register.

Parents aware of any child who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before Sept. 1, 2020, but whose parents have not received a letter, please urge them to register at the elementary school where their child will be attending.

The Oconomowoc Area School District offers a three-year-old screening program available to those children whose parents have concerns about their child’s development. Parents can call (262) 560-3157 to discuss whether screening is appropriate.
