Residents of the North Royalton City School District who have a child turning five years old PRIOR to August 1, 2025, are invited to register their child for kindergarten beginning February 1, 2025.
For the 2025-26 school year, the District will be holding in-person registration at the Community Room.  The dates for registration will be February 18, 19, and 20, 2025.  On February 18 and 19, registration will be held from noon –7 p.m. February 20, registration will be held from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.  There will be a special photo opportunity for the students at registration. The Community Room is located at the front of the High School, 14713 Ridge Road.  The in-person registration will require that you sign up for a specific time to bring all the required documents. There will be a link on the registration page of the District’s website that you will click on to sign up for that appointment.
There are several components of the online process that must be completed in order for your child to be registered. Please log onto the website www.northroyaltonsd.org for information and links to registration.
The District will be offering both the all-day, every-day option, which is tuition-based, and the half day option.   Parents will be able to select a preference for AM/PM. Finalization of the AM/PM assignments will be provided to parents of the half day program in early August. (please note that the AM fills up quickly and you will not be guaranteed the spot until your registration is complete).
The cost for the all-day, every-day option for the 2025-2026 school year is $2,750.00.  A lottery will be held if the number of all-day kindergarten registrations exceeds the number of spots available.  This will occur on March 26, 2025.  You must have completed all components of registration by the end of the business day on Friday, March 7, with all required paperwork completed and submitted to be considered for the all-day, everyday kindergarten.
Families not interested in the all-day, every-day option will be enrolled in the half-day AM or PM sections.
Early Entrance (Grade Acceleration) to Kindergarten:
Parents in the North Royalton City School District who are interested in learning more about early entrance to kindergarten, which is also considered grade acceleration, for their child should call the Office of Pupil Services at 440-582-9140 by April 4, 2025, for an explanation of the Early Entrance process.
A child may be considered for early entrance (grade acceleration) if the child’s fifth birthday falls between August 1 and December 31, 2025.  The child must also meet district screening criteria in the areas of pre-academic, social, and emotional development.  This eligibility process for early entrance begins in May and is completed by mid-June.
Parents who have questions about this process should contact Mrs. Julie Bogden, Director of Pupil Services at 440-582-9143.
