At Knox County Schools, all registration and enrollment takes place at the student’s zoned school and must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.
Specific information about Preschool enrollment can be found here. Information for Kindergarten enrollment can be found here.
All forms must be filled out completely and printed along with the following documents:
- Proof of Birth: Government-issued Birth Certificate, passport, immigration documentation.
- Proof of Custody (if applicable): Decree of adoption or other court-issued records
- Immunization Records: The student’s Tennessee Department of Health Immunization Certificate (shot record signed by the child’s physician or county health department). Visit the Knox County Schools Immunization page for more details.
- Recent Physical Examination: Proof of a physical exam within the past year.
- Proof of Residence: One of the following—gas, water, or electric bill. If the utility bill and/or lease agreement is in the name of someone other than the parent/guardian, that individual must provide the utility bill and/or lease agreement, along with a notarized letter confirming that the parent/guardian and children reside at the address.
- Name and Address of Previous School: The new school will send a formal request for your child's records.
Bring the completed, printed enrollment packet and all required documents to your zoned school. Some schools have specific times for dropping off enrollment forms, so please check the school’s website or call the main office for details. No enrollment materials will not be accepted by email.
