NEW Student Registration

Tennessee Law (TCA 49-6-201) has changed to reflect new requirements related to the age cut-off for entering kindergarten.  Section three (3) states, "Children entering kindergarten shall be five (5) years of age on or before August 31 for the 2013-2014 school year and on or before August 15 for all school years thereafter".

• Proof of Birth, one of the following forms:  

  • Birth Certificate - issued by a government 
  • Passport issued by any nation (translated) 
  • Immigration documentation 
  • Decree of adoption or other records issued by a court 
  • Other official documentation showing date of birth and parent's names 

• Social Security Card (if available)
• TN Certificate of Immunization  (TN DOE LINK)
• Physical exam  
• Proof of Residency (HELPFUL LINK)

Parents are urged to register their children on the spring registration date event if they do not have all the required forms or certificates.  Missing forms may be collected over the months before school starts.

Parents with questions related to zoning should LINK HERE or call the district administrative offices at (865) 982-7121 (M-F between 7:40 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.)  OFFICE HOURS MAY VARY DURING THE SPRING/SUMMER OF 2020 DUE TO COVID-19.  

You are also welcome to email us at MCS@Maryville-Schools.org. 

Due to COVID-19 and the stay-at-home order now in place, our plans for registration and the May 1 "document day" at our elementary schools was not possible.  Instead, you can follow these guidelines to complete your registration process:

STEP 1 - REGISTER ONLINE
****The link to online registration will open on May 6th and be available as a link here and in many other places.  If you are experiencing difficulty with the site or do not have internet access or a computer, please contact your zoned school.  Computers and assistance will be available at the schools on July 16 (Early Bird Registration) and July 24 (Annual New Student Registration Day)

STEP 2 - PROVIDE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION****Please follow the guidelines set by the state to provide the required documentation to your school.  All three elementary schools will accept your paperwork at the school, either by visiting the office or by using the drop-box.  Envelopes will be provided if you wish to simply drop-off your paperwork in the provided slot at each school.  Offices will be open in May (Monday - Friday) from 9am until 3pm.  Sam Houston and Foothills are accepting documents through May 22 and John Sevier will be available to accept documents through May 28.  Completing this two-step process in May helps our school administrators know how to prepare for the new school year.  We want to be in the best position possible to welcome your new student!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Make certain you SUBMIT your registration at the end of step 1.
• You are only considered REGISTERED upon completion of both step 1 and step 2.

If your student participated in PRE-K in the Maryville City Schools during the 2019-20 school year, you will NOT register as a NEW student.  Instead, you will participate in RETURING STUDENT VERIFICATION later this summer. 

Peer-buddies who attended MCS PRE-K during the 2019-20 school year will receive an email regarding registration from a teacher or administrator at your school.  

If you have APPLIED to become a tuition student in the upcoming school year, please wait for final approval from the district office BEFORE starting the registration process.  

Students enrolled at the Early Intervention Center at John Sevier Elementary who are moving to Kindergarten in 2020-21 will receive a snapcode via email in late June.  That code will allow you to participate in the Annual Returning Student Verification process.  However, you will need to provide the paperwork listed above as 'required' to your zoned school.

STEP 1 - REGISTER ONLINE
****The link to online registration will open on May 6th and be available as a link here and in many other places.  If you are experiencing difficulty with the site or do not have internet access or a computer, please contact your zoned school.  Computers and assistance will be available at the schools on July 16 (Early Bird Registration) and July 24 (Registration Day).
