Kindergarten Screening
Students who will be five years of age by August 1, 2019 are eligible to attend kindergarten in the 2019-2020 school year.
Kindergarten screening will be offered at the Buckeye Primary School on April 23rd, April 25th and April 30th. ALL parents are encouraged to sign their child up for a screening session. You may call the Primary Office on or after March 4th at 330-722-8257 ext. 4137 to schedule an appointment.
Registration is only required for those students who are not enrolled in the Buckeye Preschool Program. To register your child for the 2019-2020 kindergarten program, please click here to begin the online registration process. After you complete the online application, you will be prompted to set up an appointment with our Registrar. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. Instead, we ask that you bring all necessary registration documents with you to your screening appointment. Please click on the "kindergarten information" link in the column to the right to see what documents are needed for registration, as well as additional information about screening.
There will also be an opportunity to sign your child up for the Safety Town Program that is offered here at Buckeye Primary School during the month of June. We will have applications that you can complete during the screening session. Cost for Safety Town will be $45.00. You may pay with cash or check made payable to: Buckeye Board of Education.

Important Car Rider Information:
If you plan on picking your child up after school, please send a note in with your child so their teacher and office staff are aware. The car rider placard's purpose is to help our staff identify which car the child is to get into - we still need to receive communication from you that your child will be picked up. If you are picking your child up on a permanent basis, we will accept a note covering the entire school year or a specific time period.
Reminder to parent volunteers and visitors:
Per Board policy, photos of students within the classroom are not to be taken without the permission of the teacher. In addition to this policy, we request that photos not be published on any social media website.
TRANSPORTATION: 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR
If your student rides a bus to/from school, please click here for information regarding the upcoming school year. The following situations require a new transportation request form to be completed for your child: if your child is a kindergartener moving up to first grade; if you have moved to a new residence; or if you have made changes to your child's babysitter/daycare provider. The transportation request form must be completed by July 16, 2018 to guarantee transportation at the beginning of the school year.
