New Family Information

Duneland School Corporation’s (DSC) mission is to provide a safe, collaborative, and engaging environment where all students are empowered to explore their talents, build on their curiosity, embrace high expectations, and become responsible, caring individuals.  

What is the difference between ENROLLMENT and REGISTRATION?

Student enrollment is the one-time process of arranging to attend Duneland School Corporation. Once a student is enrolled with Duneland School Corporation, they are eligible to proceed with registration.

Registration is the yearly process of reviewing and updating student information typically done electronically prior to the start of school.

Enrollment Requirements for NEW Students

For the upcoming school year, children enrolling in kindergarten must be five years old on or before August 1, unless granted an early admission waiver by the superintendent of schools. A birth certificate, not a hospital certificate, must be presented during the registration process.

For information about the minimum immunization requirements, visit the Duneland School Corporation Health Services site. Indiana Public Law 50 mandates that all children have their immunizations current before entering school in August. Parents of all students should review their child's immunization record now to make sure that they are current with the Indiana Required and Recommended School Immunizations prior to entering school.

Please contact your physician to update your child's immunization status or call the local health department. The Porter County Health Department conducts immunizations BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.  Contact the Porter County Health Department at 465-3525.
