Online Enrollment For New Students is Open

This is basically a two-phase process. You will pre-register your child in the first step and receive an automated email acknowledging your pre-registration. Within two or three business days you will receive an additional email from TK Schools to complete the process.
There are step-by-step instructions to complete the process on the TK website under Enrollment. If you have questions or run into issues, please contact the building secretary for the school your child will attend.

Ready…Set…PLAY!

Cathy Leaf’s kindergarten classroom looked like a toy store explosion! There were toys and games everywhere and along with it – smiling, giggling and laughing students enjoying just being kids.

McFall Elementary students got a special birthday treat from a classmate whose mother made them each a pair of mittens.

Birthday Treat Helps Keep Classmates Warm

Most kids bring cookies or cupcakes or a favorite snack to pass out to their classmates in honor of their birthday. But Zak Holzhausen had a different idea. He came home upset after one of the first snowfalls of the year. “I asked him what was wrong and he said he was upset because so many of his friends didn’t have mittens to wear outside in the snow,” said his mom, Theresa.

TKMS students share books about water with McFall first graders.

MS Students Share Water Lesson at McFall

Water, water everywhere! In Michigan we are surrounded by water with an abundance of natural lakes, streams and ponds so sometimes it’s hard to realize there are people in the world who don’t have quick and easy access to safe water. Where does our water come from and how does it safely get into our homes and schools and businesses? What happens if our water supply is no longer safe? What happens if we don’t have access to good water?

Four young TK students had a lemonade stand this summer and donated all proceeds to help students with negative lunch balances.

Young Students Share Sweet Profits

A simple children’s summer lemonade stand by some very young students is showing everyone the true meaning of kindness.

YAC Grant Gives Students A Change

Thanks to a YAC grant, Brittany Brown's first graders can wiggle, bounce and move around in their McFall Elementary classroom. Brown received a $300 grant for flexible seating for her students. Funds were used to purchase wobble stools, ball chairs and some foam seats. She also purchased some kick bands that are placed around the legs of conventional chairs but allow students to kick the rubber band and shuffle their legs. Brown said the students love the new seats that allow them to move and be a little more active.
