Student Registration

Who may register a child?

Only legal residents who are the parent or legal guardian of the child may complete the registration process. All certified court orders pertaining to guardianship and custody must be presented at the time of registration. 

If after your child is enrolled, you move to a new address at any time during your child’s enrollment in the District, it is your responsibility to inform your child’s school of your new address.  Likewise, parent(s)/guardian(s) are responsible for informing school officials of any change(s) to the legal custody or guardianship of their child(ren), address and/or telephone.


Kindergarten Information

A child is eligible for entrance into kindergarten if s/he attains the age of five on or before August 1st of the year in which s/he applies for entrance. A child under age six (6) who is enrolled in kindergarten will be considered of compulsory school age.


First Grade Information 

A child is eligible for entrance into first grade if s/he attains the age of six (6) on or before September 30th of the year in which s/he applies for entrance and has completed the kindergarten program of this District or an equivalent program elsewhere and has been recommended by the teacher for advancement to the first grade. 

This requirement may only be waived if a request is made and approved by the District's Pupil Personnel Services Committee and acceleration evaluation committee decides it is appropriate for the child.


Residency Requirements

The Oberlin City School District will enroll only those students whose parents/legal guardians are residents of the school district or students who have been approved under Open Enrollment by the Superintendent. “Residence” for school purposes means that the custodial parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of the student are full-time residents of Oberlin.
