At an enrollment fair hosted by Southfield Public Schools, parents asked staff about program options while curriculum staff described the district’s K–12 course offerings.
Stephanie Poole, a Southfield resident, said she has a son who previously attended Southfield schools and that her daughter will enter fifth grade after moving from another district. "I'm super excited," Poole said during the fair, describing why she attended the event.
Tim Marshall, another parent, introduced himself as bringing his 12-year-old son and said he wanted to learn "what Southview offers for my son," noting the child plays football and the family’s interest in which programs would best support him.
A representative from the district curriculum department outlined academic offerings, saying the district provides a "rigorous program, K through 12," that includes English language arts, social studies, mathematics and science at lower grade levels and a high-school program featuring career and technical education (CTE), Advanced Placement (AP) honors and general education tracks. The staff member presented the overview as information for families considering enrollment but did not provide enrollment counts or specific registration deadlines at the event.
The fair gave families a chance to ask about academic tracks and extracurriculars; district staff invited attendees to follow up with enrollment offices for program placement and registration details.
