You can always contact our Centralized Student Registration office at 614-491-8044 ext. 1239 between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday - Friday to have any questions answered related to either setup. During the summer, our schedule changes to Monday - Thursday between 6:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

If you contact us after hours, please leave a detailed message on what you're calling about, and include your name and phone number when you call. We will get back to you as quickly as possible.

All required documents must be completed and brought with you during your scheduled appointment in order for your student to attend Hamilton Local Schools. We cannot keep your appointment if you are missing documents.

We need copies of your student's birth certificate, social security, shot records, proof of residency in our school district, and proof of custody if that applies to your family. Your child will not be considered enrolled until we have all documentation.

Please make all arrangements to obtain these items before scheduling your enrollment appointment.

Each child who is five years of age on or before September 30 shall be eligible to enroll in kindergarten. Each child who is six years of age on or before September 30 and who has successfully completed kindergarten shall be eligible to enroll in the first grade.

Students in grades K-3 that are registered prior to the first day of school are permitted to ride the bus to school. If you are registering a child that will attend our elementary school after the first day of school, they are required to have a parent/guardian take them to school on their first day of classes and should plan on arriving at 8:40 a.m. They are permitted to ride the bus home at the end of their first school day, and they are allowed to ride the bus to and from school every day following their first day.

If you have questions about the enrollment process or the paperwork you need, please call before your appointment. Your child will not be allowed to attend school without all documentation.

We appreciate all of your assistance in making the enrollment process efficient and look forward to having your student join our Hamilton Local Schools family.

Thank you,
