Marinette School District assign all students to their home schools based on the established elementary school boundaries to ensure student enrollment balance within the elementary schools.
By July 30, a parent can apply for a district exception online, which is reviewed by the District Administrators for approval. If the family receives approval, it is the district’s expectation that the student will be parent transported to/from school in a timely manner or the district exception will be reversed. Families will be notified by the first Friday in August.
Should a family move during an existing school year to another home outside of the existing school’s attendance area, it may be in the best interest of the student to finish the current school year at the original school and that will be granted.
Potential Reasons for Approval:
1) Medical conditions of student.
2) Extenuating family situation.
3) Family moved from current home in district to a new home causing a change in elementary boundary area.
Marinette School District reserves the right to request further documentation if needed to make a final decision. All decisions are made by the District Administrator and are final.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
|
Hello Garfield Families and Friends!
Spring is in the air! A big thank you to all that helped support our school by selling Saykelle's eggs over break. We have the Wisconsin Forward exam coming up for our 3rd and 4th graders at the start of April. The first testing day is April 3rd. Over the course of 2 weeks, our 3rd & 4th graders will take time during the school day to complete tests in different subject areas. 3rd & 4th grade are tested in the areas of writing, reading, and math. 4th grade also is tested in science and social studies.
If you have a child in 3rd or 4th grade, you can help them do their best on the state test by making sure they get a good night's sleep. A well balanced breakfast is also helpful. Students can grab breakfast here as well to give them some extra nutrients to help them stay focused. Attending school on the testing days is also important as they will have to make up the tests they miss. However, if your child really does not feel well, resting at home is the best option! Thank you for your continued support with the academic, social and emotional growth of your child! We make a great team.
