Enrollment Process
To register and enroll your child in the school that he or
she is zoned to attend, bring the following to
school:
 |
The child’s birth
certificate or other proof of age and identity; |
|
Proof of your identity and
residential address (driver’s license and utility
bill); and |
|
A record of your child’s
current immunizations signed by a doctor. |
Your child may be eligible to enroll provisionally if the
required immunization process has begun. Texas
law requires that a child must be enrolled by the
child’s parent or guardian or another person with legal
control of the child under a court order. It also requires the
district to record the name, address, and
date of birth of the
person enrolling the student.

Every school district requires identification of each
student as a condition of enrollment, which must be under a
student’s legal name as shown on that student’s birth
certificate or other legal document. The
parent or legal guardian must furnish documentation of the
student’s identity, age, and residence and a
copy of the student’s records within 30 days of enrollment
(or 90 days if the student was born outside
the U.S.). If the
student does not have a Social Security number, HISD will
assign a Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS)
number. No student may be denied enrollment solely
because of
failure to meet the documentation requirements. Enrollment is
provisional, however, pending receipt of the required
documentation and verification of eligibility.
A parent or legal guardian who resides with relatives or
friends within HISD and who wishes to send a
child to an HISD school must submit a statement of residence.
The parent or guardian must complete the statement at the
zoned school and must supply the following:
 |
Photo identification |
|
A letter from the official
resident of the address at which the applicant is
living, stating how long
the applicant has lived at that
address |
|
The name of the school the
student attended most recently |
|
A copy of the official
resident’s most recent bill for electricity, gas, or
water; and |
|
If the residence is an
apartment, a valid lease giving the name of the official
resident. (For
assistance, call the Student Transfer
Department at 713-556-6734.) |
If your child is entering HISD from another school
district, you will also need a record of current immunizations
and his or her most recent report card. The school will also
request an academic
transcript from your child’s previous school. More
information and forms may be found on the HISD
Health & Medical Services Web site.
