Upper Arlington Schools is excited to welcome your children to kindergarten this fall! Children who will be 5 years of age on or before September 30, 2021, are eligible for kindergarten during the 2021-2022 school year.  

NEW FOR THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR! Upper Arlington Schools is pleased to offer a full-day kindergarten program for the families of Upper Arlington beginning in the fall of 2021.

Please note that Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School is a school of choice and does not have an attendance boundary as it offers the alternative progressive / informal program to students living in the Greensview, Tremont and Windermere attendance areas. Barrington Elementary School also offers the alternative progressive / informal program to students living in that attendance area.

The online registration forms will be available on this page beginning Monday, February 8. Before you begin, you’ll want to gather the student’s family medical history and contact information for trusted, local adults the school could contact if parents and guardians cannot be reached during an emergency.

After you complete the online registration forms (Step 2 above), you will be prompted to upload the following documentation within our online registration system. This is a new feature of our registration process designed to meet the needs of families during this unique school year. If needed, families may request an in-person meeting, or the district may request that a family bring in the required documentation in person.

The following documents must be submitted in order to complete your student’s registration:

• Child’s birth certificate or passport.

• Proof of residency (a deed or lease agreement showing the name of the residential parent/guardian or visit www.uaschools.org/StudentRegistrationInformation.aspx to view additional document options).

• Custodial papers (current copy of divorce decree and shared parenting plan), if applicable.

• Proof of immunization.

Information about kindergarten screening appointments for incoming students will come at a later date.
