How do I enroll my child in Kindergarten?
Texas requires that a child be 5 years old on or before September 1 to attend Kindergarten.
If your child meets this requirement, please use the following process to enroll your child:
- Determine your elementary campus using the School Search by Street website.
- Create an NEISD Parent Portal account, if you do not already have one. (You must have an email address to create this account.)
- Complete Online Registration.
- Select school year
- Kindergarten
- Contact your campus to determine registration hours.
- Bring the following required documents to your elementary campus:
- Homeowner: current copy of electric or water bill (showing your address, date, and bill amount)
- Rent/Lease: signed copy of your current lease agreement
- Certified copy of the your child's birth certificate
- b. Proof of Residency
- Valid driver's license or ID
- Current immunization record (PDF)
- Current immunization record (PDF) - Spanish
- Child's Social Security Card (if available)
A student who is five years of age on or before September 1 of the current school year and has completed public school kindergarten in another state or is enrolled in a public school first grade class in another state may continue in the first grade if he/she moves into North East ISD during the school year. An underage transfer student previously attending a public school in another state who is the child of a custodial parent who is an active member of the U.S. Military that has been stationed on active duty to a local military facility may continue in kindergarten, provided the previous state is a member of the Military Interstate Compact.
If you have any questions about the minimum age requirements for Kindergarten, please contact Early Childhood Education at (210) 407-0345.
Please note: once a child is enrolled in public school, state compulsory attendance laws will apply. Under the law, if a student is absent from school on 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period in the same school year or on three or more days or parts of days within a four-week period, then the student's parent is subject to prosecution under Section 25.093.
