Student Registration

Parents!
Our 2026-27 New Student Enrollment and Student Registration is open! There are 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 7th-12th only).
Our PreK Application is online! The PreK Application is ONLY an application, and does not mean your student will be automatically approved to begin PreK for the 2026-27 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 staff. Please see below for more information about those requirements.
