A Guide to Franklin Special District School Enrollment

New students enrolling in Franklin Special District will use Skyward Family Access to register. Those interested in the voluntary Pre-K program will use the form located on the registration website. Parents are urged to register their children online during the spring pre-registration period (April 1-30) even if they do not have all of their required forms or certificates. Missing forms may be turned in to the school up until the first day of school. School Registration Requirements include:

1. 1. Age: Tennessee law requires that a child must be 5 years of age on or before August 15 to enter kindergarten.
   2. Birth Certificate: A birth certificate is required of all children entering school for the first time to verify name and age.
   3. Immunization Record: Tennessee requires proof of immunization for school attendance. A Tennessee Department of Health “Certificate of Immunization” is required before the student’s first day of class. This certificate is available from the local Health Department or the child’s physician. Students who are exempt from immunizations are still required to have this certificate signed by a physician and have proof of a physical exam.
   4. Medical Examination: Tennessee law requires proof of physical examination for all students initially entering Tennessee schools. This includes students entering pre-K, kindergarten and students transferring from another state. This certificate is available from the local Health Department or the child’s physician.
   5. Proof of Residency: Each year, parents are required to show two forms for proof of residency in the FSSD, such as a current utility bill, cable bill or lease agreement with your name and current address on the document. Visit the website for more information on proof of residency.
