Kindergarten Information
Dublin City Schools is excited to welcome the Class of 2039 in August 2026! Kindergarten registration for the 2026–2027 school year is now open.
Heads Up! Kindergarten Age Eligibility Update
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Ohio law requires all public school districts to follow a standardized kindergarten age-eligibility cutoff. Under this requirement, students must be five years old on or before the first day of school in the district they will attend.
For Dublin City Schools, the first day of school for the 2026–2027 school year is August 20, 2026. Children who turn five on or before August 20, 2026 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten. This change replaces the previous September 30 cutoff used in prior years.

All Day Kindergarten
Dublin City Schools is proud to offer an all-day kindergarten program designed to nurture the whole child. Our full-day schedule gives our youngest learners the gift of time—time to dive deeper into academics and time to grow socially and emotionally. By balancing rigorous phonics, math, and literacy with purposeful play and related arts, we build a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Health and Clinic Information for Kindergarten Students
The Dublin City School District employs eight school nurses who rotate between their assigned schools each week. There is also a full-time clinic aide in each building who, together with the nurse, monitors the health care of students in the district.
Please visit our Health and Clinic Info page for more information about immunizations requirements, emergency medical authorization, medication procedures, exclusions, and screenings.
