In an effort to facilitate the registration of students into the Beachwood City Schools, you will be using an on-line registration process. Most of the information and documents that the school district requires for registration will be submitted to the District Registrar through the link to this on-line registration (OLR) program in Infinite Campus.  As you enter the registration information into the OLR, you will be prompted to complete all required fields. In addition, you will upload your required documents directly into OLR. If you are unable to upload the documents, please contact our District Registrar, Grace Perryman at 216.464.2600 x2107. All required documents must be submitted prior to final registration and all forms need to be FULLY COMPLETED. 

Please read through the directions and details outlined in this letter before beginning and do not hesitate to call our District Registrar, Grace Perryman, at 216-464-2600 x2107 with questions.

3. Proof of Age

To attend Kindergarten, a child needs to be five-years-old by September 30th. Your child’s ORIGINAL birth certificate must be presented at registration.

If you are a single parent and have custody of your child, it is necessary to provide the court document that confirms proof of custody. These documents must be uploaded to the OLR or presented at registration.

The School Entrance Medical Physical Examination Form and the Immunization Report Form MUST be completed by your child’s pediatrician. They necessitate obtaining a current physical examination and updating of required immunizations for your child. These forms are due by the first day of school. Under Ohio school regulations, we cannot accept your child unless this information is provided with the exception of newly transferred families to the United States, in which case you will be given a 14-day extension.

The Medication Administration Forms can be found on the top-right pane of this page. These prescription/non-prescription medication authorization forms are to be completed only if your child is to be administered medication during the school day. These forms do not need to be returned until the start of school with the appropriate medication.
