Register between Jul. 13 – Aug. 7 at one of two locations
COLUMBUS, OH, Jun 15, 2009 – Parents or guardians
of students who are new to the district, or have moved over the summer, can take
advantage of the Columbus City Schools (CCS) Centralized Registration Program.
(Note: Students registering for the district’s year-round schools – Weinland
Park or Woodcrest elementary schools – should go directly to those schools’
offices, which are open.)
For the upcoming 2009-10 school year, CCS is making
the transition for incoming sixth- and ninth- grade students easier by hosting a
Back-to-School Day, Aug. 19, 2009, from 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Designed to give
these students a trial run, the students will ride their assigned bus to and
from their new school, meet with their new teachers, learn expectations and meet
their fellow classmates. Just as with a traditional school day, a free breakfast
and lunch will be provided.
In addition, thanks to the support of Columbus
taxpayers in approving Issue 75 last November, additional instruction time has
been restored to the school day. Accordingly, middle schools and high schools
will begin their day at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8:23 a.m. Elementary schools will
begin their day at 9 a.m. For more information about school start times for the
2009-10 school year, visit

The Centralized Registration Program, which runs
through August 7, allows students to register in one of two locations between
the hours of 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., Mon. – Thur., and Fri. from 9 a.m. – noon. Routine
health assessments will be available for all new students. Days, locations and
times are listed below.
Mondays – Thursdays, CCS Hudson Center at 737 E.
Hudson St., and,
Fridays, Columbus West HS, 179 S. Powell Av.
