West Clay Elementary School

For West Clay Elementary (Carmel Clay Schools), students are generally assigned based on the district’s geographic attendance boundaries; families are directed to use the district boundary map and complete the district’s online registration packet (PowerSchool Enrollment Express) to enroll. (ccs.k12.in.us) Required documentation includes an official birth certificate (or passport), immunization records, proof of residency (specified housing document(s) plus a gas/electric utility bill), and a government-issued photo ID; guardians enrolling a child must also provide court-ordered guardianship/custody documents if applicable. (ccs.k12.in.us) For 2026–2027 kindergarten, enrollment begins January 12, 2026; kindergarten eligibility is age 5 on or before August 1 of the enrolling year, with an early-entry waiver process noted for children who will be 5 by October 1. (ccs.k12.in.us) If a family is seeking to attend a school outside their assigned boundary (a residency exception/in-district transfer), Carmel Clay Schools states that childcare-based requests will not be approved, the request must be submitted via the in-district transfer application to the named district contact, and processing may take about 10–14 days with decisions based on eligibility plus enrollment/space and programming considerations. (ccs.k12.in.us) Listed in-district transfer eligibility categories include mid-year relocation within the district (to finish the year at the current school), continuation into grade 5 or 8 after attending the school for multiple years, siblings of students receiving special services at a designated school, and children of CCS employees; the district does not describe a formal waitlist process on these pages (approvals depend on space/eligibility and decisions are described as final).
