FCPS registration requirements

To enroll a child in Fayette County Public Schools, families should go to the school their neighborhood is assigned to and fill out a registration packet. To determine your school, use our online street directory or call (859) 381-4315.

If you want to enroll your child in a different school, you must complete an out-of-area request. But it is still recommended that you register at your neighborhood school. Call (859) 381-4122 for more information.

Any child who turns 5 on or before Oct. 1 is eligible for full-day kindergarten.
