Defiance Elementary Kindergarten Screening

If you missed the opportunity to register your child for our April Screenings, we will have a make up date on Monday, May 15. Please call the office at 419-785-2260 to secure an appointment. Children are eligible for kindergarten if they will be five years of age on or before September 30, 2023.  


Parents will also need to complete the New Student Enrollment which can found by clicking here. 

 

Defiance City Schools offers two kindergarten-aged programs, an early-five program (KinderStart) and regular Kindergarten.  Both are all day, every day programs.  After each child’s screening, a team of academic professionals will meet and gather their findings.  A recommendation will be made to parents regarding placement for their child.

 

Important papers for parents to begin collecting for the screening appointment include a valid birth certificate, immunization records, a social security number, proof of residency and any applicable custody papers.  These documents are not required for the screening process; however, they will be required before school begins in August.
