Education is a cooperative effort between schools and parents.

New to Knox County Schools

First time students in Knox County must present:

• An officially acceptable evidence of date of birth at the time of registration
• Evidence of a current medical examination. There shall be a complete medical examination of every student entering school for the first time. This applies to kindergarten, first grade and other students for whom there is no health record.
• Evidence of state-required immunizations
• Proof of residency in school zone

The name used on the records of a student entering school must be the same as that shown on the birth document unless evidence is presented that such name has been legally changed through a court as prescribed by law.

A student may transfer into the school system at any time during the year if his parent(s) or legal guardian moves his residence into the school system.
