Parents of children who will be five on or before August 1st and live in the United Local School District or are considering open enrollment, it is almost time to register.  We will begin accepting kindergarten registration on March 1, 2025. If you are planning to open enroll your child, please pick up or print off from our website an open enrollment form in addition to filling out our online registration packet.  Open enrolling families will need to register with their home school district first, and then they may apply with United Local School District beginning on April 1, 2025.

After enrolling you will not be able to schedule your child’s kindergarten screening date and time until after August 1st. Our Kindergarten Screening Date will be announced closer to the start of the school year. Check our website for further information.
