Licking Heights Schools officials are encouraging parents to register their kindergarteners for the 2021-22 school year “sooner rather than later.”
District officials note that as of May 20, enrollment numbers are lagging somewhat behind traditional levels for kindergarten registration.
Acknowledging some parents opted to hold their kindergartners back from starting school under pandemic conditions for the current year, Superintendent Dr. Philip Wagner said the expectation for the coming school year is for a far more typical, pre-COVID-19 structure for in-person learning.
Wagner said that under normal conditions, “We’ve been expecting kindergarten classes to be around 400 students. That’s been our trend in recent years. This (school) year, we were at only 360 students, so we’re down about 40 children. Some of those parents told us they were holding their children for another year from starting because of the pandemic.”

Students participating in the Extended Learning Classes (ELC) at Edison Intermediate/Larson Middle School have gone all out in planning, leading and participating in community-service projects in an initiative that was inspired, in part, by the impact the pandemic year has had on everyone. Part of it was in response to the COVID situation, EILMS gifted-intervention specialist Joan Grundey said. With everything we ve all been going through, it s helped make us appreciate more the needs that exist in our community.
