Minimum Age at Which a Child May Enter School

A child who is five (5) years of age on or before September 1 or the date on which school begins in the enrolling district shall be entitled to admission to kindergarten in the public elementary schools at the opening of such schools for that school year or as soon as practicable thereafter.

A child who is entering the first grade must be six (6) years of age on or before December 31, or that an underage child who transfers from the first grade of a school in another state may be admitted to school upon approval of the board of education in authority, and an underage child who has moved into this state having completed or graduated from a mandated kindergarten program in another state shall be entitled to admission to the public elementary schools regardless of age.

Any student entering the Mobile County  Public School System, regardless of grade level, must first be enrolled.

The parent/guardian is to submit the following:

• Parent/legal guardian photo ID:
  Driver license or non-driver license or other photo
• Student’s Social Security Card:
  The district requests Social Security Numbers, however, disclosure of Social Security Numbers (SSN) is voluntary only. SSN’s are used by the district for the limited purpose of properly identifying students for record-keeping and transcripts, and are kept confidential.  The lack of or refusal to provide a SSN will have no impact on the district’s enrollment decision.  Students who enroll without a Social Security Number will be assigned an alternate identification number. 
• Student’s Certified Birth Certificate:
   The district request birth certificates to verify that students fall within a minimum age requirement. However, the school district will not bar students from enrolling because they have a foreign birth certificate or present no birth certificate at all.  In those instances the school district will allow for the presentation of alternative documentation to prove age. 
• Certificate of Immunization
  An immunization certificate is required for every student enrolled in Alabama public schools. Only Alabama issued immunization certificates are acceptable.  A new enrollee from another public school in Alabama will be conditionally enrolled pending receipt of school records containing the students immunization certificate.
