Eligibility Changes: New State Law Moves K Enrollment Deadline
A new state law has changed the age requirement for kindergarten enrollment. House Bill 114, signed into law on December 19, now requires all school districts to admit any child who is 5 years old on or before the first day of school. In South Western City Schools, this new deadline will be our first day of school on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. Previously, children with birth days up to September 30 each year were eligible for kindergarten enrollment.
Prairie Norton Elementary School has been named a 2025 recipient of the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's (ODEW) Momentum Award - recognizing academic gains made from the 2022-2023 state report card to the 2023-2024 state report card. Specifically, the Momentum Award is awarded to buildings that have improved their performance index by 3 or more points from the 2022-2023 report card to the 2023-2024 report card AND received a value-added progress rating of 4 or more stars. We could not be more proud of our students and staff!

Infinite Campus (IC) is the District’s Internet-based student information system. Important features of IC are the Parent Portal and NEW Mobile App. Through the IC tools, parents are able to access their child’s information, such as class schedules, attendance, academic reports, transportation information, coursework, and put funds in their child’s food service account online. Parents can also designate how and where they wish to receive emergency communications, attendance calls, general announcement messages, and e-mail messages from teachers, the school, and the school district. New accounts need an activation key. The district will be mailing those out in August, so save the letter if you need to create a new account.

If you already have an IC account, please update your emergency contact information at: https://www.swcsd.us/OnlineAnnualInformationUpdate.aspx
