Registration/Enrollment Info

There is a NEW enrollment process for the 2017 - 2018 school year. You can begin the SpeedyPass process on February 1st, but all appointments for Pre-K will only begin April 3rd and after.  


All registration for Early Childhood Education (ECE) will take place at our Central Enrollment Center, by appointment only. Parents and legal guardians can complete the SpeedyPass Online registration form today. Appointments will begin Monday, April 3, 2017.

Beginning February 1, 2017, once parents have successfully completed the on-line registration, they can begin scheduling appointments. They will be given an option to select the first-available appointment or choose another time.

Placement for general education classrooms in the ECE program at all buildings, with the exception of 100% lottery schools*, are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. However, parents may select to be placed on a wait list for one school if the school they wish to attend is at capacity. Parents may also submit a lottery application for up to three 100% lottery schools. Parents should also note, ECE students who are enrolled in schools other than the school of address are not guaranteed placement in the kindergarten program the following year. Parents whose children attend a school other than the school of address for ECE must go through the lottery process for a kindergarten placement.

If a student was enrolled into a 100% lottery school ECE classroom, they will be assigned to continue for kindergarten. If parents would like their child to attend their home school by address for kindergarten, they would need to complete the Return to Home School form in the winter of 2018.

Because the demand for ECE is so great, students who live outside the Columbus City School District will not be considered for enrollment.
 

* 100% lottery schools for ECE include: Africentric Early College, Duxberry Park, ECE at Johnstown Road, Ecole Kenwood, Oakland Park and Spanish Immersion.

For a full list of the documents you will need for enrollment, please visit our enrollment process page.
