Admissions

Updated 7mo ago

Zionsville West Middle School (ZCS) directs families to complete district new-student enrollment online via the PowerSchool “New Student Pre-Registration” form linked from the school/district site. (zwm.zcs.k12.in.us) Enrollment is considered complete only after the online forms plus required documentation are submitted, and families can upload documentation during the online process. (zcs.k12.in.us) Students must live within Zionsville Community Schools’ district boundaries and families must provide proof of residency (two current utility bills, or one utility bill plus a signed lease/purchase/closing/builder document), a state-issued birth certificate or passport, and immunization records (middle school families are also asked to provide a recent report card/test scores/transcript if available). (zcs.k12.in.us) The district provides pre-registration links for specific school years (e.g., “New Student Pre-Registration 2025–26”) but does not list a middle-school enrollment deadline on these enrollment pages; the district calendar notes the first day of school for 2026–27 is August 4, 2026. (zcs.k12.in.us) ZCS states it does not accept tuition for out-of-district students and assigns schools by property address, so no waitlist or special priority categories are described beyond residency/address-based assignment. (zcs.k12.in.us)
