Welcome Class of 2039!
Welcome to South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools - we are so excited to welcome our newest Arcs!
Whether this is your first Arc in the family or you’re already part of our SEL Schools community, we know that preparing for kindergarten is both exciting and sometimes a little overwhelming.
The district has created a Back-to-School webpage to help families prepare for the August return to school. Here you will find school times, start dates, supply lists, and other helpful information to prepare you for the school year.
As the new school year approaches, you’ll hear more from us—including a message from your school’s principal in August with building-specific details. In the meantime, here is some information to get you started.
Welcome Little Arcs!
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools is excited to be part of your child's learning journey!
At SEL Schools, our kindergarten program is designed to nurture curious minds, build foundational skills, and spark a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Our free, full-day kindergarten program offers a caring environment where every child can thrive. With dedicated teachers, enriching activities, and a focus on both academic excellence and personal growth, we prepare students for success in school and beyond.
Kindergarten is more than just a classroom—it’s a launchpad for lifelong learning!
Children who live in the South Euclid-Lyndhurst City School District and turn 5 on or before August 24, 2026, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year. If your child does not meet the age cut off, you can explore Early Entrance to Kindergarten or consider the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Preschool Program!
