The first day of school is Thursday, August 8, 2024.

Here is the 2024-2025 school calendar.

Visit BCBE's District Calendar for all yearly school calendars. 

For a school calendar, visit our school calendar on our web site or check with your student's homeroom teacher.

Click on the School Site Locator to type in your address to see the schools that serve your address. The web-based school locator page is provided as a fast-reference service. It is very important that you contact the schools it lists to ensure that the information is indeed correct.

In order to adequately project school facility needs in our rapidly growing county, currently the Board of Education only allows a zone variance – the ability to attend a school outside of one's own zone – in the case of extreme hardship, which is usually mostly medical in nature. Zone variances are not granted for the sake of convenience. If you believe you are eligible for a zone variance due to extreme hardship, please contact the principal of the school you wish your child to attend first.

If the principal agrees that the student meets the requirements for eligibility for a zone variance, the parent must complete a Zone Variance Request Form provided by the school they are requesting to attend and attach a statement as to the necessity of the zone variance. 

For additional information, please review the Zone Variance Guidelines before submitting your request. All information and the request form is here.

*Please note: If a student has a zone variance, it is the responsibility of the parent to provide transportation for the child.

Please visit Baldwin County Virtual Schools for comprehensive information and to apply if you would like your student to attend Virtual School. This is for 7th-12th grade students only.

One of these must be a recent utility bill with your Baldwin County address.

All students are required by Alabama State Law to have an original certificate of immunization (IMM-50); copies are unacceptable. These certificates may be obtained from your local physician or Baldwin County Health Department in Robertsdale. The Health Department may be reached at 251.947.1910.

You will be required to complete an enrollment form for each student. These will be made available by the registrar or counselor when you visit the school. 

Visit BCBE's Registration page.

Children entering school in the fall are required by Alabama Law to present a Certificate of Immunization formerly known as a “Blue Card."
 Children entering Kindergarten need boosters of DTaP, Polio, MMR and Varicella. These shots complete the childhood series for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTap), Polio (IPV), Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) and Varicella.
 Children age 11 and entering the 6th grade need a Tdap vaccination. In addition, children in this age group are strongly recommended to receive HPV (a cancer preventing vaccine) and MCV4 which protects against the most common types of meningitis.
 If you are unsure if your child needs immunizations, check with your pediatric provider or the local County Health Department. For more information, visit the Alabama Department of Public Health website.

To enroll a student in the Baldwin County School System you must have legal custody of the student. Delegations of parental authority or powers of attorney will not be accepted. The enrolling guardian/custodian shall reside in the attendance zone in which enrollment is sought. The student being enrolled must actually reside with his/her guardian/custodian.

In addition to the matters noted in the preceding paragraph, it shall be the sole duty and responsibility of the enrolling guardian/custodian to provide all documentation otherwise required by the Baldwin County Board of Education as a prerequisite to enrollment.

Please see the School Guardianship Guidelines for complete details.

You will withdraw your child from the current school and bring those documents to your new school with two new proof of residency documents. Those documents must have the custodial name of that child.
