Kindergarten registration

The official 2023-24 registration process is underway for all soon-to-be kindergarten students in the West Jefferson Hills School District. Kindergarten students in the district attend either Gill Hall Elementary or McClellan Elementary schools. Families who have an existing Skyward account can log in to their parent/guardian account and click “New Student Registration” located on the upper left-hand side of the screen. For parents who do not have an existing Skyward account, please use this link to complete the process: https://bit.ly/3Tdv0wF.Children entering kindergarten must be 5 years of age on or before Sept. 1, 2023. There may be some required documents that parents do not have at this moment, but will have when their child gets a little older. Parents are asked to please work through the registration process and submit what they can now. Parents who have any questions or need help during the registration process are asked to call WJHSD administrative staff at 412-655-8450 for assistance.
