Public School Enrollment Requirements:

Required documents for enrolling are: Birth Certificate, Certificate of Immunization (Blue Card) or exemption as required, Social Security Card, proof of residence (a signed lease, deed, mortgage, or letter from the property manager), and utility or phone bill addressed to the parent or guardian at the address being established as residence.
Certificate of Immunization (Blue Card) are available from the Madison County Health Department (256-539-3711), 204 Eustis Avenue, Huntsville, Fox Army Health Clinic (Immunizations - 256-955-8888), and from local physicians.
Age of Enrollment: Kindergarten students must be five years old on or before September 1 (2)*. First grade students must be six years old on or before September 1 (2)*. Students who are six years old after September 2, have successfully completed public kindergarten in another state, and have been certified to attend first grade in that state may be accepted in first grade. These students, however, will not automatically be accepted in first grade in this school system. *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.
Grade placement will be made on the basis of test scores, performance, and/or demonstrated ability. (HCS Policy 107-5, Section B, Paragraph 2).

According to Alabama State Department of Education resolution (12-8-88), ALL students (K-12) should have a valid social security number and card. A copy of the social security card will be made and the original card returned to the presenter at the time of registration.

Huntsville City Schools Athletic Eligibility:

In Alabama, each school has zone lines that determine where each student attends. The zone lines are determined by the county or city school system that governs that particular school. The Alabama High School Athletic Association uses these zone lines to determine athletic eligibility. When a student transfers from one school to another school he/she is not eligible to participate in athletics at the new school for a period of one year from the transfer date. There are some exceptions to the transfer rule and these exceptions are found in the AHSAA handbook. Each Principal and Athletic Director of all schools will have a handbook in the office.
