Kindergarten Registration FAQ

When does Kindergarten Registration begin and how do I register my child? 

Enrollment begins on March 1, and can only be completed online using FinalForms.  Click here to access Final Forms.. The actual enrollment process is very similar to any new student entering Crestview Local Schools even if the family already has a child in Crestview Local Schools.  Specific steps in that process using FinalForms can be found here. 

What is the age requirement for registering for kindergarten? 

Your child must be 5 years old on or by September 30. If your child turns 5 after the deadline, and you believe is ready for kindergarten, you may request early entrance testing. Your request can be sent to Sherri Richter at richter.sherri@crestviewschools.net. 

Do I need to come to a building as part of registration? 

 No; however, you must upload certain items and documents in Final Forms.

What information do I need to complete to be “fully registered?

 Registration information can be found here. 

What if I have questions while completing registration?

Early Kindergarten Admission

A parent may request early admission to kindergarten if the child turns five years of age after the district’s kindergarten entrance date (August 1) and before January 1.   The local board of education shall determine entrance through a standardized testing program. The Crestview Local School District considers a child eligible for entrance into “regular” kindergarten if s/he attains the age of five on or before August 1st of the year s/he applies for entrance.   A child under the age of six (6) who is enrolled in kindergarten will be considered of compulsory school age.

By parental request a child may be tested for early admission to kindergarten if s/he will be five (5) years of age between October 1st and December 31st, inclusive, and exhibit the mental, social and emotional standards established by the Crestview Local Board of Education.  If your child turns 5 years of age after December 31st and you believe s/he is a viable candidate for early entrance, please contact the Gifted Services office.

The Crestview Board of Education has adopted the State of Ohio’s Model Student Acceleration Policy for Advanced Learners:

“Children who will not yet be the proper age for entrance to kindergarten or first grade by the first day of January of the school year for which admission is requested shall also be evaluated for possible early admittance if referred by an educator within the district, a pre-school educator who knows the child, or pediatrician or psychologist who knows the child.  Children who will not yet be the proper age for entrance to kindergarten or first grade by the first day of January of the school year for which admission is requested may also be evaluated for possible early admittance at the discretion of the principal of the school to which the student may be admitted.”

The Early Entrance to kindergarten process shall be reviewed annually by the Early Entrance to Kindergarten Committee.
