Kindergarten Roundup / Enrollment
Kindergarten Roundup will now be held on specific dates and times at all KCS elementary schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The dates and times are listed below. Please register at your zoned school. If you are new to Knox County, have moved since the roundup, or missed the roundup, please contact your local school.
The first two weeks of school will be a staggered schedule for Kindergarten students. Students will attend a half-day each week (with dismissal at 12:00 noon) beginning on August 25 and will begin the full-day schedule on Tuesday, September 8 2020. The school will notify parents either by letter or phone call before the school year begins regarding their child's staggered day schedule.
If you are not able to attend Kindergarten Roundup, you can still enroll by calling your zoned school after Monday, May 4, 2020 and making an appointment.Kindergarten Enrollment Age Requirements
Children should be five by August 15 to enter school for the upcoming school year.Early Entry for Students Turning Five After August 15
If a child has a birth date after August 15 and the parent would like Knox County Schools to consider early entry, they would follow these steps:- The parent should go to their zone school and ask for the “Parent Referral to the S-Team”.
- The parent will fill out the “Parent Referral to the S-Team” and return it to the principal of the zoned school. The school will schedule a Support Team Meeting with the parent, the principal, a Kindergarten teacher representative, and the school psychologist to review the “Parent Referral to the S-Team”.
- The team may recommend that the school psychologist conduct an evaluation for eligibility of the intellectually gifted criteria.
- The Individual Education Plan (IEP) Team may request permission for an evaluation by the school psychologist. (The IEP Team includes the parent(s), the school principal, a Kindergarten teacher representative, and the school psychologist.)
- At the completion of the testing, the Individual Education Plan (IEP) Team will reconvene to review the testing and make a decision regarding giftedness, and the need for early entry.
