Registering/Transferring (In System) - What You Need to Know

Online vs. Paper Registration Forms

Shelby County Schools uses online registration forms. These online forms can be completed on any Internet-connected device, including smart phones*. Our online forms for returning students will allow parents to confirm or update information that we already have in our system, saving you time. Please contact the school directly if paper forms are needed for registration.

*The online form website uses standard security encryption, but parents should know that using public Wi-Fi (such as that found in stores and restaurants) is not recommended.

Step 1 – Transfer Only - Check Residency & School Zone

Shelby County Schools is providing the following learning options for the 22-23 SY for students who currently reside in one of the seven communities zoned for the Shelby County School District:

• Traditional - On Campus Learning- All Grades - Students will report to the school campus daily.
• Virtual - At-home Learning- Grades 9 -12 only - Students will participate in all courses through a virtual format. Please visit the Virtual Shelby website and view the Virtual Shelby Orientation and Handbook 2022-2023 for enrollment requirements and other importation information.

In order for a student to be enrolled in the Shelby County School District, and participate in one of the learning options, based on School Board Policy 6.1.2, the student must attend school in the zone in which they reside with a parent or legal guardian. Custody awarded through the court is a requirement for school enrollment. Students are not permitted to be a virtual learner and reside outside of the Shelby County School District.
