 Huntsville City Schools has established guidelines and procedures for the registration process.  Please see below for links to Forms, Registration Guidelines, Maps to all District School Zones, and paperwork required to register in any HCS School.

Age Requirements:

To enter kindergarten, students must be five years old on or before September 1 (2)*; to enter 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. Grade placement will be made on the basis of test scores, performance, and/or demonstrated ability. (HCS Policy 107-5, Section B, Paragraph 2).

*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.
