Admissions

Updated 7mo ago

Walnut Grove Elementary (Center Grove Community School Corporation) directs families to enroll online through the district’s Skyward enrollment portal: new-to-district families use the “New Families” option, while current Center Grove families log in to Skyward Family Access and use “New Student Online Enrollment,” selecting the correct year (e.g., 2026–27). For in-district enrollment (White River Township residents), the district states a child who resides in White River Township and is at least 5 years old by August 1, 2026 may enroll for the 2026–27 school year, and families must upload a birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency (such as a lease or utility bill). Families outside the district must complete new-student enrollment and then request an inter-district (out-of-district) transfer; the posted 2026–27 transfer windows are April 5, 2026 (6:00 p.m.)–April 10, 2026 (11:59 p.m.) for intra-district transfers and April 19, 2026 (6:00 p.m.)–May 11, 2026 (11:59 p.m.) for inter-district transfers. Transfer requests are reviewed case-by-case and may be denied due to capacity/class size; applications are time-stamped and processed in the order received, with the only stated priority being submissions made before the deadline. The district timeline notes enrollment opens in February, Kindergarten open houses in March, Kindergarten assessments in May, grades 1–12 transfer notifications in June, and school begins August 3 (no waitlist and no other priority categories—such as sibling/staff preferences—are described on the referenced enrollment/transfer pages).
