Open enrollment spaces can be limited, with forms for the 2017-2018 school year available on the school website or at the superintendent’s office.

To attend kindergarten, children must have attained the age of 5 by August 1, while no student shall be admitted to first grade who has not successfully completed kindergarten. Kindergarten students will attend school all day, every day.

For parents whose child is new to Van Wert City Schools, the following are needed at the time of registration: a copy of the child’s birth certificate, immunization record, and social security card.  In the case of divorced parents, a copy of a child custody court order is required.
