Canfield Welcomes Newest Cardinals!
Canfield Local School District

The Canfield Local School District is announcing Kindergarten Registration for students residing in the district for the 2025-2026 school year.

An informational meeting will be held on Monday, March 3, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium at Canfield High School. The meeting will be live-streamed on our YouTube Channel. A link to the meeting will be available on our website. The day after the meeting, parents/guardians may visit MyConferenceTime to schedule an appointment in April to begin the registration process. A link to MyConferenceTime will be posted on the district and school websites. General regulations for these students are as follows:

1. The child must be a resident of the Canfield Local School District.

2. Children entering kindergarten must have attained the age of five on or before August 1, 2025.

3. Children entering first grade must have attained the age of six on or before August 1, 2025, and must have completed a successful year in kindergarten.

4. The child’s original birth certificate must be presented at the time of registration.

5. Proof of residence must be presented at the time of registration, i.e. driver’s license and one of the following: purchase agreement for home, rental agreement, or gas or electric bill with residential address.

6. Divorce decree and/or proof of custody (if applicable) must be presented at the time of registration.

7. According to Canfield Local Schools’ Board of Education policy, the immunization record of the student must be presented to register the student for kindergarten. The record must be from a physician’s office or a health clinic.

Required immunizations do not need to be completed by registration, but must be presented. The Canfield Local Schools follow the requirements of Ohio law and the Ohio Department of Health. Pupils to be admitted to an elementary school must have written evidence that they have received the following immunizations before entering school in the fall:

• Four (4) or more of DTaP or DT, or any combination.
• Three (3) or more doses of IPV.
• 2 doses MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine.
• 3 doses of Hepatitis B vaccine given at the appropriate intervals.
• 2 doses of varicella vaccine (chicken pox).

If the child has not been immunized against any of the above-mentioned diseases because of a physician’s recommendation, or because of religious objections, the school must have a signed statement to that effect, which must be renewed each school year.

The Canfield Local School District is also conducting its Intensive Awareness Campaign. We are asking anyone in our district who is aware of or suspects they have a handicapped child to please contact Mrs. Shannon Miller, Director of Special Services, at 330-533-6219.

Students who are currently attending kindergarten in Canfield do not need to re-register for first grade.

Canfield Local School District Earns Top Marks
George M. Malich

The Canfield Local School District is proud to announce that it has once again achieved a 5-star overall rating on the Ohio School Report Cards, marking the second consecutive year of exceptional performance. The district significantly exceeded state standards across key performance areas, reflecting its commitment to delivering a high-quality education and ensuring every student’s success.

Superintendent Joe Knoll commended the collective efforts that contributed to this success: "We are incredibly proud to be recognized as the only district in Mahoning County with a 5-star rating. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our educators, staff, students and the entire Canfield community to excellence in education."

The Ohio School Report Card, released annually by the Ohio Department of Education, provides an in-depth evaluation of schools and districts across the state. It assesses performance in several critical areas, giving parents and the public a clear understanding of how well schools are educating their students. The report cards provide clear information to guide decisions on school improvements, resource allocation and educational content while fostering discussions on improving district programs that may need additional support.

Key Components of the Ohio School Report Card:

Overall Rating: Schools and districts are rated from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the highest. This rating is a comprehensive reflection of several performance measures.

Achievement: This component measures how well students performed on state tests and whether they met academic standards. It evaluates student proficiency against established benchmarks.

Progress: This indicator assesses the growth of students year over year, considering how much progress students make compared to their academic peers across the state.

Gap Closing: This component examines how effectively schools address the needs of specific student subgroups, such as economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities and various racial/ethnic groups. The goal is to reduce achievement gaps and ensure equity.

With continued success in these critical areas, Canfield Local Schools has shown its dedication to fostering academic growth while nurturing the whole child in an inclusive, supportive environment. Aligned with the district’s mission to educate, motivate and innovate for lifelong success, Canfield remains focused on helping each student reach their highest potential.
