Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I schedule a registration appointment?
Use these links to go to the online scheduler, SignUp Genius, to select your appointment time. View the sign-up help document.

What do I need to bring to the registration appointment?
Please make sure you completed your online registration form before your scheduled appointment. All required documents will need to be uploaded with your registration form or brought to the meeting. These documents include language survey, child’s birth certificate, official immunization record, parent proof of residency, and court date-stamped proof of custody (if applicable) or proof of “pending” custody. If you are unsure about what to bring, please call our Records Compliance Officer at 614-921-7096. Only completed registrations with all required documents will be processed. (Children do not need to attend)

How do I schedule an appointment for a screening?
At your registration appointment, if all necessary registration documents have been received, you will make an appointment for kindergarten screening on your “home” school’s assigned screening day. Students will not be screened until all required paperwork is submitted. Screening dates are time-sensitive, therefore parents should submit all registration documents on their identified registration day.

What should I expect during screening?
This is an exciting time for students, families, and staff. You will tour the building and meet some of the school personnel. In addition, district-trained kindergarten screeners will test your child’s readiness skills. This is not a pass/fail screening. Your child’s vision, speech, and hearing may also be evaluated. You can expect this process to take approximately 60-90 minutes. You will receive more detailed information from your child’s home building after your registration is complete.

What if I missed my registration day in January/February?
Fill out the online registration form and upload your documentation. Call 614-921-7096 to schedule an appointment, after completing the online registration, if you are not able to upload your documentation.

When and where can I apply for an intra-district building transfer?
Transfer Request forms will be available online from January 25 – February 26, 2021, and they will also be available in all school buildings and at the District’s Central Office.

Transfer forms must be completed and returned to Mrs. Vicky Clark, Assistant Superintendent, 2140 Atlas Street, Columbus, OH. 43228.
