In Tennessee, a child entering kindergarten shall be no less than five (5) years of age

Kindergarten is mandatory for all students in
Tennessee.
Our enrollment process is done online. Parents of incoming Kindergarten students can enroll their

After enrollment form is completed, parents should continue to check school websites periodically for
