Registration Process

1. Please schedule health screenings with the Hancock County Health Department for one of the screening dates listed above. If you would like to have your child’s school physical and shots completed with their pediatrician feel free to do so at any time. Please be sure you get a copy of the Tennessee School Immunization Certificate and continue the registration process by completing step #2.

1. After scheduling the health screening, please call Jennifer Trent @733-8094 to schedule the academic screening which will be held at the special education trailer behind the school clinic. Both screenings need to be completed on the same day unless you are using your personal doctor for the health screening. When attending screenings please bring the following items: 1.) your child; 2.) your child’s birth certificate; 3.) your child’s social security card; 4.) your child’s shot record; and 5.) any custody papers if applicable showing who has legal custody. If you took your child to their pediatrician please bring the copy of the Tennessee School Immunization Certificate. These documents are required by state law to be placed in your child’s permanent record. They cannot enter kindergarten without them on file.

2. Every student beginning kindergarten should be completely potty trained.
