Kindergarten Entrance Date (2026-2027 School Year)

With the signature from Governor DeWine on December 19, 2025, House Bill 114 is official.

House Bill 114 establishes a uniform kindergarten age requirement (age 5 by the first day of school) instead of districts using either August 1, or September 30 as a cutoff date.

For the 2026-2027 school year, Kings Local School District will use August 13 as the cutoff date for kindergarten.  All kindergarteners will have to be 5 years old by August 13, 2026 in order to attend.

This date will fluctuate yearly depending on the first day of school.

Kindergarten Registration will open March 9, 2026
