High School Student Enrollment  

Welcome!

Summer 2010

Dear New Student and Parents:

It is with a great deal of pleasure that we welcome you to Okemos High School. It is our goal to present to you a high school experience that will allow you the opportunity to be challenged, to pursue your interests and to realize potential. At Okemos High School you will have the opportunity to work with an exceptionally dedicated an highly credentialed faculty and a student body that is motivated and serious, yet vibrant and positive.

As you move from one high school to another, there are many documents that must be forwarded to your new high school. Some of these documents are required by the State of Michigan to be on file before enrolling (see below). Each new registrant and parents will meet with the registrar to check that all pertinent documents are in our possession. Please call the main office at (517) 706-4900 to set up an appointment for August 23rd or August 24th.

The following documents must be in our possession before you can register for classes for the 2010-2011 school year:

• Certified Birth Certificate
• Up-to-date Immunizations (including Hepatitis B, Tetanus and Varicella)
• Proof of Residency (need two) in the Okemos School District - Click here
• Completed OHS Registration Form - Click here

Also helpful in the scheduling process: Cumulative High School Transcript and 2010-2011 schedule from previous school (classes student would have taken if not changing schools).

It is the parent's responsibility to provide Okemos High School with the above documents, not the responsibility of the sending school. Other documents can be transferred to us from your previous school through transfer of records. You may release those records to us as you leave your current school, which is preferable, or we will request those records upon your enrollment into our system. However, the documents listed above MUST be checked and be in our possession BEFORE we can set up an appointment to register you for classes. Once the above documents are checked by the registrar, the student and parent will be given an appointment date and time on August 30th or August 31st to register for classes and build a schedule with a counselor.

I am available to you at anytime to discuss your experience at Okemos High School. I extend to you my best wishes for a successful and productive year.

Sincerely,

Christine M. Sermak
Principal
