2026-27 Kindergarten Online Pre-Registration Opens
Monday, January 26, 2026
Kindergarten Age Requirement Change for 2026-27
Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, students will be eligible to enroll in kindergarten if they are 5 on or before August 14, 2026. Ohio's House Bill 114, signed in late 2025, requires students to be 5 years old by the first day of instruction for that school year to enroll in Kindergarten. This replaces the older cutoff date, which for Perrysburg Schools was August 1.
Who May Enroll a Student?
IMPORTANT: Unless there is court stamped paperwork indicating otherwise, the following applies. Only a custodial parent/guardian living with the student within the Perrysburg School District attendance area may register a student for school. For parents who are not married, Ohio law automatically defaults to the mother for custody (and she must be the enrolling parent/guardian residing here with the student). The custodial & residential parent/guardian must be the person to fill out and sign Final Forms and be listed as Parent/Guardian 1 in Final Forms, our web-based enrollment software.
*Children enrolled in Perrysburg’s Union Preschool do not need to pre-register. Union Preschool students are already active in Final Forms. They automatically advance to kindergarten and are assigned an elementary school based on their home address. More details will come from preschool staff.
