Can I download and fill out the registration documents prior to my appointment?
Yes. To help speed up the registration process, you may download the following PDF file and complete the forms. Bring completed forms to the registration site along with all the required documents.
Do you need help locating documents?
Birth Certificates for children born in Ohio may be purchased at the Ashtabula City Health Department, 4717 Main Avenue, Ashtabula, OH 44004, (440) 992-7123.
Immunization Records - Your child's doctor, clinic or previous school may have copies of Immunization Records. Students may need to retake shots if immunization records cannot by located.
Court Documents - All finalized documents must be presented at the time of registration. These papers can be obtained from the court in which they were filed.
I’m not the legal guardian. How can I enroll a child?
Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances where a child is living with someone who is not the legal guardian. Here are some examples:
- If the Department of Children and Family Services has custody, the social worker or foster parent should have journal entries or emergency custody papers that verify the custody arrangements.
- If children are living with grandparents, the grandparents can show proof of guardianship with a Grandparent Power of Attorney or Grandparent Affidavit. When properly completed, notarized and filed with the juvenile court within 5 days of signing, these documents are acceptable forms of custody and allow the child to be enrolled by the grandparent. For more information on Kinship Support and to download forms, visit the Public Children Services Association of Ohio’s Kinship Support (www.kinshipohio.org).
- If a parent/legal guardian is hospitalized, incarcerated, or in rehabilitation, the Department of Children and Family Services may be able to help (440-998-1811).
We look forward to serving you and your children for many years to come in the Buckeye Local School District!
