Registration Instructions/Medical Requirements
Parents should go to their child’s zoned school for all the necessary paperwork, such as a registration card and a parent questionnaire listing emergency numbers. Parents need to take their child’s certified birth certificate and social security number. They must also present three (3) proofs of legal residence, such as driver’s license, tax notification or statement (i.e. utility bill) that shows their legal address. Parents must sign a declaration of legal residence at the time of registration.

Each student registering must have a physical before starting school. The Tennessee school entry medical and certificate of immunization form is available at the physician’s office. Ask the physician to do hearing and vision screenings. The Madison County Health Department can assist with immunizations. The 2nd MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) immunization is required for Kindergarten, 4th, 8th and 12th grades. If you have questions about registration contact the attendance supervisor at 731-664-2570.
