• If you have a new student transferring to Madison City Schools, please note the following:

    1. New students must be enrolled via the MCS website's New Student Enrollment Link. Once requested documentation and information have been submitted and approved, the district will notify the registrar at BJHS.
      • PLEASE NOTE: Upon successful enrollment in the district, you will receive an electronic confirmation, but please allow the school to contact you first. Everyone who completes the registration process will receive this general confirmation. Once all requirements have been verified, the school registrar will notify your school counselor, and the school counselor will make contact with you regarding courses and scheduling.
      • Counselors will typically begin to make contact with new students and parents who enroll over the summer around mid-July.
    2. Please keep in mind that counselors try to contact families in order based on their enrollment completion, so it may take time for you to be contacted depending on the number of new students who have completed this step prior to your student’s enrollment.
    3. In the meantime, please do the following to prepare for your counselor meeting:

    Helpful Resource Links:

    Please review graduation requirements, core course progression charts, and course catalog (descriptions of courses, prerequisites required) to complete your course request form for your upcoming grade level. If you are a rising 9th grader, you may ONLY select courses from the 9th grade form. Be prepared with courses in mind as well as any questions you may have.

    Each student is required to select 8.0 credits-worth of classes. Typically, this includes four core courses (English, Math, Science, Social Science) and four elective courses. Please list/include multiple alternative options for elective courses (4 to 5), as some courses may be unavailable or not fit around the requested core classes.

      • If possible, acquire or develop a student record of courses taken and grades received for high school courses from your student’s previous school. Our registrars will request an official transcript from your students’ former school, but often the delivery of transcripts is delayed and will be received well into the school year.

    Counselors will conduct a review of all courses to determine which graduation requirements have been met by your student’s previous courses and which requirements are yet to be fulfilled.

    Without a record of previous courses and grades, it may be a challenge for your counselor to create a schedule in which he/she has full confidence will allow students to remain on track to graduate with their cohort (especially rising 11th and 12th graders).

    Thank you for your patience, and welcome to Bob Jones High School!
