• New Student Enrollment

        Welcome to Madison City Schools!
        We are excited that you are joining Madison City Schools! As a new family, we know you may have questions about how to get enrolled, prepare for the upcoming school year, and discover the many opportunities available to your child. We’re happy you’re here and look forward to an enriching educational partnership.  All registration for Madison City Schools is done exclusively online by the legal parent/legal guardian.  (Use the link at the bottom of the page to access the online enrollment page.)  For specific details on enrollment requirements, refer to the 2025-2026 Enrollment Requirements on the left side of this page.

        Kindergarten Eligibility

        If your child will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2025*, they are eligible to attend Kindergarten for the 2025–2026 school year.  Important: If your child was enrolled in a Madison City Schools Pre-K classroom at the end of the 2024-2025 school year, do not use the links below. Instead, please register as a Returning Student when you receive the email regarding returning students. 

        State law requires that students are to be 6 on or before December 31st of the current school year, to enroll in first grade. 

        *An opinion of the Attorney General states in effect that under the common law one’s age is computed by including the day of birth so that a given age is attained the day before the birthday anniversary.
