Kindergarten Registration

Upper Arlington Schools is excited to welcome the Golden Bears Class of 2039 in August of 2026!

Due to a new state law, children will now need to be 5 years of age as of the first day of school — August 12, 2026, for the upcoming school year — to be eligible for kindergarten. This is a change from previous years.

Upper Arlington Schools is pleased to offer a full-day kindergarten program for the families of Upper Arlington. Full-day kindergarten in Upper Arlington Schools gives our youngest learners more opportunities to learn and grow socially, emotionally and academically.

Our All-Day Kindergarten Program

Before registration begins, all five elementary schools will offer kindergarten information nights to provide families with more information about the kindergarten program and registration process. 

• Barrington Elementary School — Wednesday, February 11 at 6:30 p.m.
• Greensview Elementary School — Thursday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m.
• Tremont Elementary School —  ** rescheduled for Monday, February 9 at 6:30 p.m. due to inclement weather **
• Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School —  Thursday, February 12 at 6:30 p.m.
• Windermere Elementary School — Wednesday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m.

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 program to students living in the Greensview, Tremont and Windermere attendance areas. Barrington Elementary School also offers the alternative progressive program to students living in that attendance area.

Families interested in enrolling their child or children may do so beginning at 9 a.m. on February 17, 2026, through an online registration form that will be available at www.uaschools.org/kindergarten. We strongly encourage families to complete the registration process between February 17 and March 15, 2026, for staffing and planning purposes.
