Young Five and Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before September 1st of the year of enrollment to register.  Students with birth dates through December 1st may enroll with a waiver included in the enrollment process.

Enrollment Process

New families will use New Student Online Enrollment.

Note:  If your child is currently enrolled in Young Five through 12th grade, you do NOT need to complete the enrollment process!

If you have other children currently enrolled in Holly Area Schools and need to enroll another child into the district, please log into your Family Access account and complete the New Student Online Enrollment application.  

Please remain patient while the enrollment office works through the finalization of your student's enrollment as there may be requests via email to provide additional information. Please be sure to check your email frequently to expedite the completion of your child(ren)'s enrollment.

Once your enrollment is complete, you will receive a confirmation email and instructions on how to enroll in Skyward Family Access login information. If you have questions regarding your child’s schedule, teachers or upcoming events, please visit your school’s website or call your child’s school directly.

2. Provide Student Identification

Child's birth certificate 

A birth certificate must be supplied by the parent/guardian of the student. Birth certificates will not be retrieved from the previous district, and will also not be released for any reason. Birth certificates can be obtained through the county in which your child was born at the Register of Deeds Office. The Birth certificate will be copied at the time of enrollment.

3. Provide Parent Identification    

Parent/guardian picture identification (driver's license/passport)

Photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport, of parent or legal guardian must be provided. The current address must be represented on the photo I.D.

4. Provide Immunization Record

Record from doctor's office or Health Department

Official record must be submitted at the time of enrollment. The student’s complete updated immunization record must be submitted prior to the first day of attendance.

Immunization information is available at the Oakland County Health Department at 248.858.1280 or you can complete an Immunization Record Request on MCIR.org.

Michigan law requires children to be up to date on all required immunizations on or before the first day of school. Children who have valid medical reasons that prevent or delay them from receiving a vaccine may submit a waiver, signed by the child's physician, which explains the medical issue and vaccine involved. However, any parent/guardian who wishes to waive vaccines for non-medical reasons are now REQUIRED to receive vaccine education from their local health department and provide the certified waiver at the time of enrollment. This rule applies to all children entering childcare, kindergarten and 7th grade, or newly enrolled in the district as of January 1, 2015.
