School of Choice Information
Thank you for your interest in our Schools of Choice program, which is for students who live outside our district.
School of Choice Process (When the application window is OPEN):
- Caledonia Community Schools participates in the Kent Intermediate School District Schools of Choice Programs. Complete information can be found here.
- The district will accept eligible students for School of Choice enrollment to the level of total enrollment annually determined by the Board of Education. At each grade level, if the number of applications exceeds the number of openings, students will be selected by random draw.
- Students who apply for School of Choice enrollment must have never been expelled from school.
- Students who apply for School of Choice enrollment must not have been suspended from school (in-school or out-of-school suspension) within the previous two years.
- In the event that a random draw is necessary, non-accepted students will be placed on a waiting list in the order their names were drawn and notified of openings if a spot should become available, but no later than the first week of school.
- Siblings of current non-resident students will receive preference if space allows.
- Transportation is not required to be provided to a non-resident student. However, CCS will try to accommodate transportation needs. Please contact the Transportation Department, 616-891-0224, to locate the nearest available bus stop for your student(s).
- Once a student is accepted, an annual re-application is not required.
School of Choice Process (When the application window is CLOSED):
