    Step 5: Enroll Online for 2021-22 Kindergarten at Grand Blanc Schools!

    Online registration is NOW OPEN!

    In addition to filling out your student and family's information and emergency contact information, you can also upload the documents we need digitally through the registration portal. If you experience difficulty, make an appointment to drop them off at your building at a later time. 

    The documents we will need by the start of school are: 

    • Child's Original/Certified Birth Certificate. If your child was not born in the United States, a valid passport is acceptable.
    • Proof of vision screening, completed after age 3; submit a statement from examining official. Michigan Law requires a vision screening for kindergarten entrance. Vision screening done in preschool by a health department technician or at a doctor’s office fulfills this requirement. Your child's pediatrician may have screened your child at a well-child visit, so that office is a great place to start. Click here for Genesee County Health Department information.
    • Parent/Guardian Identification (valid driver's license or picture identification card with district address.)
    • Official Immunization Record (use Immunization Checklist or submit a copy of the official record.)
    • Certified Copy of Appointment of Guardianship (if applicable.)

    Online registration gives the building your information for contact purposes.

    Download our Grand Blanc Community Schools App from the Google Play or Apple App Store for free today! You can receive notifications and access information quickly on your mobile device!

    We also post updates to this website and, if you're on social media, consider following our district @gbcsbobcats and look for your individual building social media on their pages, as well. Although all don't have both, they either have a Twitter or Facebook account where they post updates. Some also have parent/PTO groups that are not operated by school staff.

    Watch for digital newsletters from your building via email and consider
    participating in your building PTO in the fall!
