Parents/guardians may pre-register students any time on or after January 23, but families must complete enrollment by March 10 to be eligible to receive a link to opt-in for all day kindergarten. 

IMPORTANT: Only a custodial parent/guardian living within the Perrysburg School District attendance area may register a student for school.

Union Preschool Families:
If your child attends Perrysburg’s Preschool program at Union Preschool, you do not need to pre-register for kindergarten or attend the February 23 form collection day. A list of Union Preschool students who are of age to continue to kindergarten will be provided to the enrollment office for inclusion in kindergarten registration communications. Please be sure Preschool Secretary Josie Holbert has your child's updated contact information. If you do not plan on sending your child to Perrysburg Schools for kindergarten, please notify Josie Holbert at [email protected].

Monday, March 13 at Noon - Enrollment Confirmation Email & ADK Opt-In Link Sent
New Families:
An enrollment confirmation/building assignment email will be sent to the registering parent/guardian to notify them that enrollment has been completed and to confirm the elementary building assignment based on the student’s address. A link to opt-in for ADK will also be included.

Union Preschool Families:
An enrollment confirmation/building assignment email will be sent to the primary parent/guardian to notify them that the district is planning for their child to continue on to Kindergarten at Perrysburg Schools for the 2023-24 school year and to confirm the elementary building assignment based on the student’s current address on file. A link to opt-in for ADK will also be included. Please be sure the preschool office has current residency, custody and contact information on file.

Families who want their child placed in ADK should fill out the ADK opt-in link by the following Monday (March 20) at Noon.  All families should receive either a confirmation email or a reminder email to turn in paperwork. Please contact Patty Haar at [email protected] if no message is received.

Monday, March 20 at 12 p.m. - Deadline to Complete ADK Opt-In Link
Families who have completed the enrollment process and want an ADK spot for their child should fill out the opt-in link by Noon on March 20. Student names will be randomly selected from the list of submissions for each elementary building. Families who do not opt-in for ADK will automatically be assigned to the half day program at their child’s elementary building.

Monday, March 20 at 4 p.m. - Families Emailed Confirmation of Child’s Placement & ADK Tuition Forms
ADK:
Families who have been given an ADK placement will be notified via email at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 20. They will receive a separate message shortly after with a tuition form and instructions directly from Becky Spoerl. Completed ADK tuition applications and deposits are due to the Treasurer’s Office by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, March 31. Since ADK seating is limited, this is a firm deadline. If a family does not pay the deposit by the deadline, their student will automatically be switched to the non-tuition half day program and the ADK spot will be made available to another family. Students whose families requested an ADK placement, but did not receive one, will be placed in the half day program at their assigned building and added to a wait list.

Half Day:
Families who have been given a half day placement will be notified via email at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 20. Half Day kindergarten AM/PM sections vary from year-to-year at each building based on enrollment numbers. For the 2022-23 school year, Fort Meigs and Woodland Elementary had AM and PM sections. Frank offered AM only and Toth offered PM only. In order to balance out class sizes at buildings where there are two sessions offered, schools will be waiting until mid-summer to split classes so that as many students as possible can be accounted for. While placement in a specific class cannot be guaranteed, in some cases parent preference can be accommodated. Families who would like to communicate a preference for an AM or PM class should notify the school of attendance directly once they receive their half day program confirmation email on March 20.

Friday, March 31 at 3:30 p.m.  - ADK Deposits ($285) Due at the Treasurer’s Office by 3:30 p.m.
This is the deadline. Students who do not have deposits and Tuition Forms on file in the Treasurer’s Department at the Perrysburg School Board Offices by 3:30 p.m. on March 31 will automatically be moved to the Half Day program and the next student on the wait list will be contacted for the ADK space.

Kindergarten Program Information
Perrysburg Schools offers two program options for kindergarten: non-tuition Half Day (HD) Kindergarten or a tuition-based All Day Kindergarten program (ADK). Each option meets the state's academic and social standards for quality educational programming. After families have completed registration, they will have the opportunity to request the program that meets their needs.

While ADK & Half Day classroom options are offered in each elementary building, the number of sections and session times will vary according to that year’s enrollment numbers and parent requests. Some buildings may offer only AM or only PM, while buildings with larger enrollment numbers will have both class times available. The state of Ohio has mandated (and funds schools) to provide a tuition-free half day kindergarten only, therefore all enrolling families are guaranteed a spot in a half day class. Tuition-based all day kindergarten is offered to accommodate parent interest/preference, but is subject to availability.

School hours for ADK are 9:05 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. (same as for Grades 1-4). AM kindergarten is 9:05 - 11:50 a.m. and PM kindergarten is 12:50 - 3:35 p.m. Both programs are in session Monday – Friday and transportation is available, regardless of which session students attend. See KG Program FAQ for more information regarding transportation.

2023-24 ADK Tuition Rates
The fee for ADK is $2,565.00 for the year. A deposit of $285.00 and an auto-deduct application form is required to be turned in by the deadline to reserve a student’s ADK spot. Eight payments of $285.00 are then charged on the first of the month, beginning October 1 and ending May 1. Families who pay in full by August 31 receive a 5% discount. For questions related to ADK tuition, please contact Becky Spoerl in the Treasurer’s Office at [email protected] or 419-874-9131, ext. 2148.

Families that qualify for Free/Reduced Meals based on income eligibility also qualify for a reduction in cost of ADK tuition. The discount is 50% off for families who qualify for reduced meals and 90% off for families who qualify for free meals. The application is available here: Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program Application & Information. Families interested in ADK who think they may qualify should submit the application as soon as possible to be reviewed for approval. For more information about the Free/Reduced Meals program, please contact Director of Child Nutrition Services, Denise Zielske at [email protected] or 419-874-9131, ext. 2121.
