School of Choice

Applications
The timeline for the Kent County School of Choice and the School of Choice 105c applications to attend Thornapple Kellogg Schools for the 2009 - 2010 school year has expired.  Please contact our office, 269-795-5522, with any School of Choice questions.

Thornapple Kellogg participates in both the Kent Intermediate School District and State School of Choice plans.  All students residing within the Kent Intermediate School District may apply for enrollment in any Kent ISD school that has available openings during the advertised timeframe (usually open during the spring).  Students who reside in a district that is within a different ISD which borders the Kent ISD, may also apply under the Section 105c State plan depending on available openings.  Students who have been suspended or expelled may be excluded.

The timeline for the 2010-2011 school year School of Choice is as follows:

Students residing in Kent County may apply for schools of choice through the Kent County School of Choice Plan April 12 - June 4, 2010.  Students residing in districts such as Allegan, Barry, Ionia, Ottawa (districts within ISDs which border the Kent Intermediate School District) may apply through Schools of Choice 105c Plan May 10 - June 4, 2010.  Applications will not be available until the first day of timelines.  It is not a first come, first served process - applications are collected through June 4, 2010, 4:00 pm.  If there are more applications than openings, a blind draw will be held.
