Gifted Services

This registration form will be available from February 21, 2024 - July 31, 2024, for parents or guardians to register a child for the early entrance to kindergarten process. Children referred for early entrance to kindergarten will have a birthdate between October 1 - December 31, 2019, thus missing the district's age five cut-off date of September 30, 2019.   If a child turns five after December 31, 2024, a formal letter of recommendation from the child's pediatrician, doctor, or preschool teacher is required.

Whitehall City Schools follows the Ohio Department of Education's guidelines for early entrance to kindergarten screening and assessment.  Screening, assessment, and decisions on placement will take place in early August 2024 before school begins.  

After completing this form, you will be contacted by the district's gifted services coordinator to set up the date, time, and location for screening during the week of August 1-12, 2024. You must upload or email proof of residency (1. Lease or mortgage in parent/guardian's name 2. Two different utility bills (gas/electric/water/phone) dated within 30 days in the parent/guardian's name.) and a copy of the child's birth certificate or passport prior to scheduling early entrance screening. These documents, along with the completion of the Google registration form, are required for early entrance screening.
