If your student is new to Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools or is transferring between schools, enroll online by visiting https://parents.cmcss.net

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. The CMCSS Enrollment Center, located at 430 Greenwood Ave., is open M-F, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., throughout the calendar year when district offices are open. To contact the Enrollment Center, please call 931.542.5078.

The Home Language Survey is a part of the school’s registration process. Please answer the questions to the best of your knowledge. The Home Language Survey asks questions regarding what language is used by your student and in your home. This survey is given to all families due to the requirement of the State of Tennessee. If families answer with a language other than English on the Home Language Survey, the student(s) must be assessed by an English language assessment to determine if EL services should be offered. If the assessment was done at another school in the United States, CMCSS will follow the recommendations of that school for placing the student.

The assessment results will be given to the family. If your child is proficient, English learner services will not be provided; however, if your child is not proficient, your student(s) will qualify for EL services. You have the right to waive services; however, the student remains identified as an English learner and must take the annual English language proficiency test until they are proficient by the State’s predetermined scores.

Parents must bring the following documents to register:

• A birth certificate or other proof of date of birth
