Registration for Kindergarten: Next School Year
Registering your child for the 2019-20 school year is a 5-step process:
Requirements for Enrollment
You will need to bring the required documentation with you to your registration appointment or upload it with your online registration form. Note: If you already have a student in the District and upload your documentation with the online registration form, you will have the option to sign up for a phone appointment instead of having to make a trip to the Welcome Center. VERY IMPORTANT! There is a Language Usage Survey attached to the bottom of the online registration form that must be completed and uploaded if you are scheduling a phone appointment. Under “Documents” at the bottom of the online registration form locate the document titled “Language Usage Survey”. Download the form, complete it, and upload it with the rest of your documents.
To register in the Hilliard City School District it is the parent’s/legal guardian’s responsibility to provide the following documents:
1. PROOF OF RESIDENCY – Two are Required
Choose your first document from the A list and the second document must be provided from the B list:
A. First Proof of Residency Options |
B. Second Proof of Residency Options |

*If your mortgage statement or utility bills are processed through a type of online payment, it is your responsibility to obtain current statements, as required.
*If you share a home or apartment with another family, please contact the Welcome Center at (614) 921-7096.
2. BIRTH CERTIFICATE
The original or a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate. (If you do not have your child’s birth certificate, contact the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the city your child was born to request another copy. This process can take up to three weeks to receive this birth certificate.)
3. OFFICIAL IMMUNIZATION RECORD:
If you have an incomplete record or you do not have one, please contact your physician’s office for a copy of this record. You MUST bring this when registering your student, even if it is not complete.

Enrollment for new students may be deferred until documentation of a negative TB test or negative chest x-ray is received by the registration compliance officer. Re-entry for students who have traveled outside the United States for more than one month (32 days) may be deferred until such documentation is received by school personnel.

How do I schedule an appointment for screening?
When all necessary registration documents have been received, you will then 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 skill. 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 February?
Fill out the online registration form or visit our Student Welcome Center located at 2140 Atlas Street, Columbus, OH. You will then need to bring in all of your registration documentation to the Record Compliance Officer by calling 614-921-7096 to schedule an appointment.
