Enrollment
Re-Enrollment for Byron Center Charter School
Authorized by Grand Valley State University
Enrollment will open February 1, 2026 for the 2026-27 school year. Re-enrollment forms will be sent via email to all currently enrolled families. Returning families, please complete the online form and submit to the office as soon as possible once the form is received. Currently enrolled students whose enrollment form is turned in by March 30th will automatically be admitted for the following school year. If the re-enrollment form is received after March 30th, enrollment is not guaranteed.
New Student Enrollment
Enrollment forms for new students are available on our website or at the school office. Enrollment applications from students not currently enrolled, received by March 30th, will be reviewed.
- Parents/Guardians will be notified of admittance status by April 15th. (accepted, denied or lottery)
- Lottery: in cases where new enrollment requests exceed the grade level student count limit, a random selection lottery will be held on April 16th in the school office.
Priority Status Students
Siblings of currently enrolled BCCS students, and children of current staff and/or current board members have priority status for enrollment (per Michigan law). Priority status means if there are openings for enrollment, students from this group will be admitted first. This applies to the March 30th deadline only.
After March 30th, enrollment will remain open until classes are full. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office@byroncentercharter.org
Admission of Students - Board Policy
Reference: MCL 380.502(3)(e)(iii); MCL 380.504
The Board of Directors will allow students who reside in Michigan to enroll in the Academy in accordance with limits established by the Board of Directors. Because space is limited, each student must enroll each year. Preferences will be in writing and given to:
- pupils who were enrolled in the Academy in the immediately preceding school year;
- siblings of enrolled students;
When maximum enrollment for a grade has been reached, applicants shall be placed on a waiting list and admitted on the basis of a lottery system.
The School Leader shall develop Administrative Procedures for the proper implementation of this policy.
