Admissions
YIES is a Kindergarten through 5th grade free public school.
2020-2021 Application and Admissions Process
The new student application is only for students, including new siblings, who are NOT currently enrolled at YIES. If your child currently attends YIES, DO NOT submit a new student application form. Your child’s 20-21 enrollment information was processed with the re-enrollment survey each family completed in February.
Ypsilanti Community Schools are currently operating remotely in accordance to Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order #2020-35 closing schools for the remainder of the school year. If you have any questions, do not have access to a computer/WIFI, or need assistance completing the application, please contact 734-221-2402. Leave a detailed message, including your name and contact number, and a YIES staff will return your call from a remote location to support.
