You may also pick up a paper copy from the front desk and turn it in to the front office. (There is a “new student” application our website which is NOT the correct place for re-enrollment).
3. The front office must also have an updated current proof of residency (current school year utility bill, lease, mortgage payment, or current year tax form) submitted with the re-enrollment form. You can upload it into Skyward, or bring a copy to the front office.

All “new student” applications must be submitted by February 10th in order to be considered for a lottery space for the 2019-2020 school year. If you submit a “new student” application after Feb 10th, your student will be placed on the wait list, after the applications that qualified to take place in the lottery.
We want your feedback!

Posted is our updated policy for cancelling school. In past years, we have used our local ISD to cancel school. We will still use that as a factor, but our superintendent will ultimately make the final decision of whether to cancel school. Then we will notify staff and parents as quickly as possible. Have a great day!
