Enrollment & Registration

The Texas Education Code provides for compulsory attendance. Additionally, regular and punctual attendance is the greatest single factor in school success. Therefore, it is a responsibility and duty of both the school and the parent to cooperate and encourage students to establish a good attendance record. The district attendance officer may be used to encourage regular attendance. By state law, a student may not be given credit for a class if the student has more than five days of unexcused absences during a semester.

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

1. RESIDENCE - Students must live in the district with their parent(s), legal guardian, or letter of Legal Authority.

2. HEALTH RECORD  - A student must meet all requirements before being permitted to enroll. The parent or legal guardian is responsible for providing all immunization documents for the enrolling student. Acceptable immunization documents are limited to official health records from the previous school(s) attended and/or records verified by a licensed physician or public health personnel.

3. SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT - Students who do not have a withdrawal sheet or a report card from a previous school will be allowed two weeks to submit an official transcript from the school previously attended.
