Online enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year in Northwest ISD opened April 15. Enrollment is a necessary step for all students—pre-kindergarten and up—whether they are currently enrolled, returning to the district after leaving for a period of time or are new residents in the district.

What you need to know

According to a district news release, the enrollment process is based upon the student’s current enrollment status.

Parents and guardians of currently enrolled students who are returning next year need to complete the following three-step process:
  • Log into the district’s home access center and select the student to register near the top right corner of the page
  • Select the “registration” icon at the top of the page and then click the “update enrollment” tab
  • Click the word “start” to access your student’s enrollment form, which will be pre-filled based on previously provided information
The news release states that all students are required to provide proof of residency annually with any of the following documents:
  • Utility bill
  • A current lease (for 30 days, then a utility bill 30 days after beginning lease)
  • Closing papers (within 30 days, then a utility bill 30 days after closing)
For students that are either new to the district or returning after a period of time away from the district, the news release states that families can prepare several documents in advance including:
  • Student birth certificate (new students only)
  • Student social security number (new students only, if using their social security card)
  • Student immunization records (new students or if immunizations have been updated)
  • Legal guardian picture ID (new students or if a change has occurred)
  • Custody or legal documents regarding student (if applicable)
  • Most recent transcript or report card (new students, if available)
The news release states that by enrolling as early as possible, it helps district officials more accurately project their enrollment figures and the number of new teachers needed, thereby reducing class balancing that often takes place after the school year begins.
