Enrolling a new student in Metro Nashville Public Schools is a straightforward four-step process:

1. Find Your Zoned School: Use the MNPS interactive zone finder to confirm the neighborhood elementary, middle, or high school designated for your new home address.

2. Gather Required Documentation: Prepare all necessary proofs of age, residency, and official Tennessee health records. You will verify your child’s age with one of the following documents: official birth certificate, passport, visa, or I-94 record.

• Proof of Residency: Two current proofs of residence in Davidson County in the parent/guardian’s name (e.g., current lease, mortgage statement, or utility bill).
• Parent/Guardian Identification: Photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or military ID).
• Tennessee Certificate of Immunization: Signed by a healthcare provider or local health department.
• Physical Examination: Proof of a U.S. physical exam completed within the last 12 months for students entering school for the first time.
• Academic Records: Recent report card or high school transcript (if applicable).
