Enrollment in 1st grade in 2023 has ended. A decision on a local school is made for each first-grader, even if you did not enroll your child in school through Wilma in January. The decision on your child's future local school will be published on Wilma on March 30, 2023, or mailed to your home address, if you have not consented to electronic transacting. 

School newcomers’ Wilma identifiers will be unavailable in February - March when decisions on local schools are prepared. The identifiers will again be available on March 30, 2023, when decisions on local schools are published on Wilma.  

If your child will not begin school in Vantaa in 2023, please inform about the matter by email: lahikoulu@vantaa.fi.
