The Washington Local School system provides elementary and secondary education (PreK-12) for children meeting residency requirements. In order to be eligible for public education, a student must be in legally recognized custody of a resident or government agency within the district. 

Registration for all students is online. Please complete the online application by clicking the proper year on the button to the right of this page, to submit your documents electronically. Please read the instructions below as to how you may submit your registration documents online. 

For questions: email the registration department.

The required scanned documents include: (no screenshots from your phone) 

• Your students birth certificate and the parent/legal guardian ID

• Proof of Residency Requirements (see Proof of Residency section below)

• If there is custody paperwork regarding your student, the entire agreement must be sent as well.

Washington Local Preschool registration is completed through ESC of Lake Erie West.

For preschool registration information contact:

• Myranda Carter at 419-473-2237 or mcarter@esclakeeriewest.org

• Beth Tolson at 419-245-3809.

In order for the registration to be complete for students K-12, you will need to have completed the online application AND submitted the scanned documents. Once you have completed both items, you will receive a confirmation email which will complete your students registration.

You will need to create a new account to register your child.  Please do not confuse this with your PowerSchool Parent account, if you already have children in school. The parent of every NEW student (including kindergarten) needs to create an account for new student registration. You can register more than one new student on that account. 

If you are unable to scan documents via email, you may fax documents to 419-473-8300 or mail your documentation to the address below. Please be sure to note your name and your students name on all documents. Your registration is not complete until you receive a confirmation email.

Proof of Custody 

If the child's parents are divorced you must provide the complete journalized, signed custody papers(divorce/dissolution decree, shared parenting agreement, or juvenile court decision) proving residential parent information.

• If custody is with someone other than the biological parents you must present a complete journalized copy of the legal custody papers transferring custody.

• If legal custody is being established or modified, you must present a copy of the court stamped motion for change of custody. This will allow the petitioner to enroll the student and give them sixty days from the date of enrollment to obtain a journalized judgment entry establishing or modifying the custody.

• The general rule in Ohio (RC3109.042) is that an unmarried female who gives birth to a child is the sole residential parent and legal custodian of the child until a court issues an order designating another person as the residential and legal guardian.
