• The 2024-25 deadline for the MAISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Program for students residing in Muskegon County has passed.

There may be limited openings available via a release from your resident district. The process for enrolling via a release is:

1. Contact the office of the building in which you wish to enroll your child, and the Principal will let you know if space is available.
2. If space is available, contact your resident district for a release.
3. Once a release has been received by Montague Area Public Schools, the Principal will check on your student's discipline history and will let you know if we are able to accept your child.
