Entering kindergarten is an exciting milestone for a student and their family. We welcome next year's kindergarten students and their families to the Tuscaloosa County School System! Children who will be five years of age on or before September 2, 2023 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year.

We invite our incoming kindergarten students and their families to visit your local elementary school on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, anytime between 8 am and 4 pm. This will be an exciting day for our schools to meet their incoming students and families!

On April 5, please bring a copy of the following documents to the school:

• Student’s Proof of Birth/Birth Certificate
• Current State of Alabama Immunization Documentation (Blue Card)
• Two Proofs of Residency in the Parent or Legal Guardian’s Name – Mortgage or Lease Agreement AND Current Utility Bill (Showing Physical Address)
• Parent or Legal Guardian’s Photo ID

If you are unable to visit your school on April 5, you may come to your school on another day to bring the documents listed above. Please bring your student with you, so they can see their new school!

In addition to visiting your school, all incoming kindergarten students must complete online registration. Online registration for the upcoming school year is not yet open. When online registration opens, the link will be posted on this page. Check back prior to April 5 to complete your online registration.   

If you have questions, please contact your local elementary school.
