Ready, Set, Register!

If your student is new to CMCSS or is transferring between schools, please begin the enrollment process online using Parent Self Service.

To complete the enrollment process, parents may go to their child’s zoned school or the Enrollment Center with the necessary documents. However, parents visiting the Enrollment Center still may need to go to their child’s zoned school to complete portions of the enrollment process, including registering for classes.

Printed copies of the necessary documents must be presented at the Enrollment Center. Electronic copies will not be accepted. If you are unable to access a home printer, visit the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library, which has printing services on the second floor.

Necessary Documents:

  • A birth certificate or other proof of date of birth
  • State law requires that a copy of a student’s state-issued birth certificate be in the cumulative folder. Schools can accept other proof of date of birth for registration, but the parent/guardian needs to provide a copy of the child’s state-issued birth certificate.
  • Student’s Tennessee Immunization Record (Click the link for more information)
  • A complete medical exam is required for all Pre-K enrollees.  Evidence of completed exam can be presented upon registration.  A medical exam is recommended for all students in grades K-12 at the time of registration.  See the Health Services page for more information.

  • Two (2) Proofs of Residence:
    • Mortgage Verification (with name and address)

The Enrollment Center serves as a centralized location for parents and guardians to register their children and obtain documentation, resources, and support for the enrollment process. Parents and guardians are able to begin the registration process at the Enrollment Center, including the ability to submit important registration documents such as birth certificates, health forms, statement of residence, etc., which will be scanned and sent electronically to the school at which the child is zoned. Parents and guardians still have the option to complete the enrollment process at their child’s zoned school when buildings are open and staff is available.

Homeschool Information

In Tennessee, parents have the option to educate their children at home, an option known as homeschooling or home education. Click here for more information. The CMCSS Student Services Department is the point of contact for homeschooling questions.
