Online enrollment for the Madison Metropolitan School District’s (MMSD) 2025–26 school year will begin on Wednesday, August 6. Families who are enrolling students for the first time or updating information for returning students can complete the process through MMSD’s website.

The enrollment section of the MMSD site offers families details about required documents, language support services, school assignments, and transportation options. This resource is intended to help both new and returning families prepare for the upcoming academic year.

Families with students already in MMSD should verify or update their information by completing an online application without needing to create a new account. Those new to MMSD will be guided through setting up an account and uploading necessary paperwork. They are encouraged to review the checklist provided on the website to ensure all verification documents are ready before submitting an application or meeting with school staff. Enrollment staff can assist by phone at 608-663-4957, in person, or with language-specific support as needed.

“Online enrollment helps us better prepare for each student’s arrival, academically, socially and logistically,” said Dr. Carlettra Stanford, MMSD assistant superintendent of schools and learning. “It also allows us to more seamlessly coordinate essential systems such as transportation, staffing and academic programming, clearing the way for a smooth transition to the school year for our families.”

The first day of classes for four-year-old (4K) and five-year-old kindergarteners, grade 6, grade 9, and early childhood students is Tuesday, September 2. All other students will start on Wednesday, September 3.
