Do you have a child turning 5 on or before September 1, 2022?
We highly encourage families to register online but you can print an enrollment packet and complete it by hand. If you choose to print and fill out the enrollment paperwork by hand it can be scanned to etaylor@wausauschools.org or dropped off at Grant School. Any questions or need a paper form feel free to contact the school at 715-261-0190 This helps immensely in planning for the upcoming school year. If your student was enrolled in 4K with the Wausau School District they will NOT need to register. They will automatically be enrolled in their home school for Kindergarten.
NEED HELP SETTING UP A PARENT PORTAL ACCOUNT TO ACCESS REPORT CARDS?
If your child will not be coming to school please call the school office at 715-261-0190 or send an email to etaylor@wausauschools.org by 9:00 a.m. that school day. Feel free to leave a voicemail with your child’s name, grade and absence reason. If we do not hear from a family by 9:00 a.m. a phone call will be made to the parents inquiring about the absence.
Please note a student may not be excused by a parent for more than ten (10) days per school year. The student must complete any course work missed during the absence. Examples of reasons for being absent that can be counted under these 10 parent approved days include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. professional and other necessary appointments (e.g., medical, dental, and legal) that cannot be scheduled outside of the school day
2. illness without a medical excuse from a physician
3. attend a funeral
4. vacations
