1) After you sign up for a screening appointment for your student, Mrs. Cotrell will send you a number of forms to complete via email. You may return these forms via US mail to 7208 US Hwy 68 N, West Liberty, OH 43357 or email to Mrs. Cotrell at alcotrell@wlstigers.org. You may send a picture, a PDF attachment, a scanned copy, or a printed copy of these forms.

2) Each student will meet with teacher(s) and both parents may attend the screening appointment with the student.

3) After the teacher(s) meets with your student, you may choose to meet briefly with the school nurse (Mrs. Douthwaite) if you have medical concerns such as: allergies, asthma, diabetes, daily medication, seizures, or any other significant medical issue. You will receive a separate email later this year with information about immunizations and wellness policies.

Proof of Identification

Parent or guardian registering student must provide a photo ID (driver's license) for identification purposes.

Birth Certificate

This is the Certificate of Live Birth from a County Health Department in the state your child was born. The document issued by the hospital is NOT acceptable.

Social Security Card (optional)

If card is lost, a statement from the Social Security Administration with the SSN is acceptable. A copy of your income tax form with the child's SSN is also acceptable if SS card is lost.

Immunizations

A copy of the current immunization record for your child is required. If you do not immunize your child, you must provide reason in writing (dated & signed), OR you may complete a waiver form provided by the school nurse.

Custodial Documents (if applicable)

If parents are divorced/separated, please provide a copy of the most recent custodial documents (must have the court's journal entry date stamp) designating a custodial and residential parent.

Proof of Residency (one of the following)

• utility bill

• rental agreement

• purchase agreement

• builder's contract (home must be completed within 90 days of enrollment at WL-S)

• current payroll stub showing WL-S address and WL-S income tax withheld

If you are moving into the WL-S school district with family or friends and you cannot provide proof of residency (above), you may complete a Residency Verification Form from our Registrar.  You will need to have your signatures notarized by a notary public. 

Open Enrollment is handled differently than grades 1-12.  Kindergarten students should be signed up for Kindergarten screening, which typically occurs in June. After signing up for screening, Mrs. Alysson Cotrell will email Kindergarten Registration forms to you, including the Open Enrollment Application.  Please complete all forms and return to Mrs. Cotrell prior to the screening day.  If you also have students in grades 1-12, please wait to send their applications in until May 1st.  Contact Mrs. Alysson Cotrell at (937) 465-1060, Ext. 101 or alcotrell@wlstigers.org with any questions pertaining to Kindergarten screening. 

Please also attend Kindergarten Screening in your district of residence since we have a limited number of Open Enrollment spots available each year.
