Emails with snapcodes started to send on the afternoon of July 11.

If you are a current tuition student you will maintain your tuition status as long as the student is in good standing for attendance, grades, financial requirements, and behavior. Those families will be able to register with returning students starting on July 10.

During the Board of Education meeting on June 5, the BOE voted to allow Indian Trail Middle School, Liberty Bell Middle School, and Science Hill High School to be tuition schools. There are no K-5 elementary schools open for tuition. To apply for tuition to Indian Trail, Liberty Bell and Science Hill click here.

If the new tuition student is the child of an employee within the school system, the new tuition student may attend the school in which the parent is an employee (TCA 49-6-3113).

If the parent teaches at Indian Trail, the new elementary student will attend Fairmont Elementary, which is a feeder school for Indian Trail Middle School.

If the parent teaches at Liberty Bell Middle School, the new elementary student will attend Woodland Elementary, which is a feeder to Liberty Bell Middle School.

If the parent teaches at Science Hill High School, the new tuition student will attend either Fairmont Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Indian Trail Middle School or Liberty Bell Middle School depending on class sizes and student enrollment numbers.

City of Johnson City and Johnson City Schools' employees can use this link to apply for tuition. You can contact Danise Slayton at SlaytonD@jcschools.org

New students are those who have never attended Johnson City Schools or those who have moved away and did not complete the 2022-2023 school year with us.  We will be moving registration online beginning with the 2023-2024 school year and registration will open on May 1.

Registration is open to all students residing in the City of Johnson City and to those students who have been granted tuition status. To speak with a school representative regarding enrollment questions, call your child's school directly or email Danise Slayton at SlaytonD@jcschools.org. Registration checklists are provided below to assist you with gathering the required documentation.
