Here are two other important pieces of information for parents of incoming kindergartners: 

  • Immunization Requirements - Immunizations are used to protect your children against certain diseases as well as other children in the school. Under Indiana Public Law, when a child enrolls in school his/her parent/guardian is required to furnish written proof that a child is fully immunized as required by the Indiana State Department of Health. Immunization paperwork must be submitted to your school office before the first day of school. Immunizations may be obtained from your family doctor, St. Joseph County Health Department, or other area clinics. Please call your school health office for resources.

  • Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center Letter –  The schools’ onsite healthcare services are provided by trained SJRMC personnel, who are prepared to help you with medical concerns and questions about medications at school.

RESIDENT STUDENTS WHO WISH TO CHANGE SCHOOLS

  • Any student who is a resident of the district and wishes to attend a P-H-M school other than his/her home school, must complete and submit an internal transfer request form. The transfer request form is available here. Incoming kindergarten students must first enroll at their home schools before submitting an internal transfer request for a different school. While admission to a child’s home school is assured, transfer placement is not. Approval is based on the number of requests received and the space available. Transfer decisions will be announced later in the spring. 

 

NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS WHO WISH TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION

  • Non-resident students seeking admission to kindergarten, or any other grade level, must check this page on the P-H-M website after January 2nd  for more information on posted openings and the application process. There will be limited spaces available.
