Enrollment and Registration

Enrollment vs. Registration

All new students must first enroll in the Plymouth School District. They then can register for the current or (in August) coming school year.

• Families with an EXISTING Plymouth Skyward account

If you already have a Skyward Family Access account with the Plymouth School District (from an older child), log in to Skyward Family Access and select "New Student Online Enrollment" from the left-hand menu. (see image)

• Families NEW to the Plymouth WI School District

1. Begin by requesting enrollment access.

2. You should receive an email with your login information and a temporary password. (If you do not have an email address, check that box and a temporary password will pop up.)

3. Go to the Skyward Family Access login screen and change the Login Area to "Enrollment Access." (see image)

4. Set your enrollment password, and select "New Student Online Enrollment" from the left-hand menu.

5. Work through the enrollment steps.

Once enrollment is approved (and, at Plymouth High School only, you have met with a counselor), you will receive a confirmation email and then can register for the current school year.

• Families WITHOUT INTERNET access

Families also can enroll in the Plymouth School District office, located on the south end of Plymouth High School, 125 S. Highland Ave. The office is open from 7:30am to 4:30pm school days. Park in the visitor lot in front of the school and enter Door 18.
Please bring the following with you:
• Child's birth certificate (if possible)
• Parent/guardian driver's license or other state ID with your current address as proof of residency

4K Enrollment

Children who will be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible for 4K, which features play-based learning in a classroom setting.

The district is excited to offer two new 4K options for the 2026-27 school year, pending approval by the Board of Education at its April 21 meeting:

Full-day 4K:
Classes would meet five days a week from 8:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., the same as other elementary students, with a class at Horizon and a class Parkview. Each class would have a DPI-licensed teacher and support staff to maintain a ratio of 1 adult to every 10 students. Advantages of full-day 4K include:

• Improved academics, particularly literacy
• Additional fine arts programming for 4K students
• Reduced reliance on childcare for families
• No mid-day transportation costs for the district

Onsite child care, operated by Community Education & Recreation, is available outside the school day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, including no-school days and summer break.

Nature-based program:
This new option for families would be offered in partnership with Plymouth Forest Montessori, as a 4K Community Approach program. Plymouth Forest Montessori started with the 2025-26 school year at Camp Anokijig by former Riverview art teacher Rachel Blessing, a DPI-licensed teacher and Wisconsin Master Naturalist. The school features:

• Montessori programming, which features student-led learning
• An emphasis on growing people who are compassionate, curious, and environmentally conscious

More details will be available once the Board of Education approves the partnership and enters into an agreement with Plymouth Forest Montessori.

Note: We will be contacting families already enrolled to discuss the new options.

To enroll a child in 4K:
Please follow the Enrollment instructions above. Every effort will be made to provide placement information (i.e. school location and morning/afternoon class) by June 1 to families who have enrolled by May 1. Enrollments will be accepted through the summer, though there will be less flexibility for placement after May 1.

To schedule a personalized 4K tour with a principal, please contact any elementary office (which are closed in July):
• Fairview: (920) 892-2621 (north side)
• Horizon: (920) 892-2225 (south side)
• Parkview: (920) 892-4076 (west side)

Open Enrollment

Families exploring their options through open enrollment are encouraged to consider the Plymouth School District, which is just the right size to offer personal attention along with a wealth of opportunities!

Wisconsin's inter-district public school open enrollment program allows parents/guardians of children in 4K through 12th grade to apply for their children to attend school districts other than the one in which they reside.

There is no tuition cost to families who opt for open enrollment (though they may be charged the same fees as resident students). However, families are responsible for transportation to and from school.
