Registering your child for kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year is a four-step process. To finalize your student’s registration, please make sure you have completed each of these steps:

    

  1. Begin the registration process by completing the initial application form. The School Enroll Code is: UpperArlington.

  2. Complete and submit all registration forms in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

  3. Upload all of the required documents in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and confirm that they are ready for a member of the team to review.

  4. Confirm your student's registration through a brief phone appointment with our Registration Office. A team member will contact you to schedule this appointment.


Please do not use the registration link on this page to fill out the online registration forms if you have a student in grades 1 through 12 who will be new to the district for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. Registration for students in grades 1 through 12 who will be new to Upper Arlington Schools for the 2022-2023 school year will open on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.  


STEP 1: Submit your initial registration application

To begin the registration process, please complete a short application form with your student’s information and your household information so that our Registration Office can verify your student’s eligibility and attendance area. Applications will be approved during business hours, Monday through Friday. Please allow up to 24 hours, depending on volume, for your application to be processed.


After you complete the application form, you will receive two emails:

(approximately 45 minutes)

Once you receive the second email, you may complete the online registration forms in PowerSchool, our student information system. You’ll need the unique credentials at the bottom of the second email in order to either add a new student to your existing PowerSchool parent account or to create a new PowerSchool parent account. This case sensitive information is NOT the username and password for logging in. Please refer to the second email for instructions.

 

Parents/guardians with an existing PowerSchool account: Log in to the Parent Portal using your existing username and password. Click on Account Preferences in the left navigation column. Click on the Students tab, then click the Add button.  A popup window will open.  Complete the requested information by using the access ID and password listed at the end of the email you received.

Parents/guardians new to PowerSchool: Click on the Create Account tab on the PowerSchool log-in page. You will be prompted to enter your name and email address and a username and password. To link your student to the account, scroll down to Link Students to Account and use the access ID and password listed at the end of the email you received.


Once you are logged in to your PowerSchool parent account, select the Forms link in the left navigation column. Individually select and complete ALL of the required forms. Click the Submit button at the bottom of each form to save your work. 


You will need the following information to complete these forms:


  • Name, address and phone number of the last school (including preschool) your student attended.

  • The names and contact numbers of two emergency contacts other than parent(s)/guardian(s) — trusted local adults the school can contact if the parent(s)/guardian(s) cannot be reached.

  • Your student's detailed health information to be provided confidentially to the school nurse.

  • If applicable, custody information regarding your student. Supporting documentation will be collected later in the enrollment process.

     

Progressive / Informal Instructional Program at Barrington and Wickliffe

In the online registration forms for your student, you will also be asked to identify your choice of two instruction models offered at the elementary level: Contemporary and Informal. Barrington, Greensview, Tremont and Windermere offer the Contemporary instruction model to students living within their attendance area. 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.


If you choose the alternative progressive / informal program, you will be prompted to fill out an Informal Program Choice Form during the online registration process.




Step 3: Upload required documents

As you complete your online forms, you will need to upload the required documentation in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Please name each file with your student’s FIRST and LAST name as it appears on the birth certificate, and the contents of the file (i.e. Sam Smith Birth Certificate.pdf).


You are required to provide the following documents:

  • Proof of Immunization. Please have your physician complete this Immunization Report or contact your physician’s office for a copy of your child's immunization record. You must submit this at the time of registration, even if it is not complete.  Please consult the Immunization Information for Enrollment for more information.

  • Custody Papers, if applicable. In accordance with Ohio Revised Code 3313.67.2 and the Missing Children’s Act, the parent/guardian must provide a certified copy of the divorce decree and parenting plan allocating parental rights and responsibilities and/or other documents allocating custody or guardianship.

  • Other documents, if applicable:

    • Individualized Education Program (IEP)

    • Multifactored Evaluation (MFE)

You will then be asked to confirm that all forms and file uploads are completed and ready for a member of the team to review. 


Please note: Registration cannot be completed and your student may not begin school without the above documents. If you already have a student in the district, you will still need to provide the above documentation to complete the registration process.


If you have any questions, or if you have difficulty uploading these documents, please email [email protected]. Depending on the volume of registrations and emails at the time, please allow for additional time to receive a response.
