Student Registration
Parents!
Our 2025-26 New Student Enrollment and Student Registration opened on April 8, 2025. There are new, additional tiles to complete this year for all students as well, such as the Bus Rider Agreement tile, Immunization tile (grades KG and 7th only), and Drug Testing Consent tile (grades 6th-12th only).
This year, we will be offering our PreK Application online! This will open on May 1st. The PreK Application is ONLY an application, and does not mean your student will be automatically approved to begin PreK for the 2025-26 school year.
You will receive a notification whether your child has been approved or if they have not been approved. The same required Texas qualifications are still in place and will be verified by district and campus staff. Please see below for more information about those requirements.
