Campus registrars will contact you after you submit the application with any additional questions or documents needed for enrollment. Students new to GISD high schools can also schedule counseling appointments after their enrollment application is approved to review course requests, graduation requirements, and additional information with their counselor.

If you need assistance, have questions about required documents, or have other questions about enrollment, please contact your campus registrar.

Due to new legislation for the 2025-26 school year, school districts must provide information about parental rights and options upon their child’s enrollment. For more information, please click here.

Who needs to complete new student enrollment?

Students who are not enrolled in a Georgetown ISD school in the current school year need to complete new student enrollment, Examples include new pre-k or kindergarten students or students transferring from outside of the school district.

Students who currently attend a GISD school do not need to complete the new student enrollment.

Instead, parents should complete the Online Returning Student Registration in Skyward Family Access for their existing GISD students.

What are the requirements for kindergarten enrollment?

What are the requirements for pre-kindergarten enrollment?

Details on documentation required for eligibility for each of these criteria can be found on the TEA website (see eligibility).

How do I provide copies of required documents to the campus registrar?

Please scan or photograph all required documents prior to starting the online enrollment process to expedite this process. Registrars will need clear, legible copies of your documents to process your application. You may upload all required documents as part of the online enrollment application.

You may also provide scanned copies or photographs of required documents to the registrar by secure, encrypted email. Your campus registrar will initiate this secure process via email if you are unable to upload the documents during your online enrollment application, or if additional documentation is needed.

If you are unable to scan or upload your documents digitally, or if you need other in-person assistance, please contact your campus registrar and schedule a time to come to campus in person for enrollment assistance.

Where can I get a certified copy of my child's birth certificate?

Official birth certificates may be obtained by calling the state health department in the state where your child was born. In Texas, you may order a birth certificate online from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, call the office in Austin at 512-458-7111, or visit the Williamson County Clerk's office in person to obtain a Texas birth certificate. Please allow sufficient time for your request to be processed.

High school students will need transcripts showing all credits earned to assist in course placement. Otherwise, class registration may be delayed until official transcripts are received from previous schools.

If you live with another family, do not have one of the documents listed, or have questions about the documents requested, please contact your school registrar for assistance. You can find a searchable directory on our website or simply click on the ‘Our Schools’ button at the top right-hand side of the District website.
