Let's Get Started!

Step 1 - Find Your School by Grade Level

Step 2 - Documents Needed for New Enrollment

To enroll your K-12th grade student:

You will need the following documents for enrolling your student:

  • Official Birth Certificate (not a hospital copy)
  • Official Social Security Card (or non-U.S citizen passprort)
  • Current Immunization Records
  • Enrolling parent's valid Driver's License (or state issued picture ID card)
  • Enrolling parent's Proof of Residence (ex: water, electric, or gas bill, or lease or mortgage in the enrolling parent's name)
  • If enrollment is by a non-birth parent, you must have Legal Guardianship documents

We will be conducting online registration, so digital versions of these documents that you can access from anywhere online are highly recommended.  We will have limited availability on campuses to scanners to scan in documents for upload!

To enroll your Pre-Kindergarten student:

You will need to upload digital versions of the documents requested in Step 2 during the enrollment process.  You can do this by downloading from your provider's website, taking pictures with your smart phone, or scanning items in to a computer. 

If you are registering on your own personal device, you can upload them from the device.  If you are attending a registration event at your student's campus, please have them saved in an accessible location, or bring physical copies to be scanned in. 

We will be conducting in-person online registration on campuses if you need further assistance. Please check the school website ahead of time for enrollment dates and times. Depending upon how many parents are enrolling at that time, this process could take from 20 minutes to an hour or more.

 

Step 4 - What About a Bus and Lunch?

Once your student is enrolled, you will be able to visit with the staff at the district office to enroll your student in the lunch program. The Food Service office is located in the Central Administration building at 708 E 11th Place to contact the Food Service office, (432) 264-3635 or click here to view the Food Service webpage.

To register your student to be able to ride a bus, please visit in person the Transportation Department, located at 3600 11th Place. To contact the Transportation department, call (432) 264-4108 or click here to view the Transportation webpage..

Step 5 - Technology Resources

Big Spring ISD is a 1-to-1 district, every student Kindergarten through 12th grade is assigned a Chromebook for his/her use at school. Only students at the High School are allowed to take their devices home. There is no opt-out process for receiving a Chromebook because it is an important tool for completing assigned work, conducting research, and accessing learning materials, and every student is required to have a signed Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in order to be able to use the Chromebook. You can choose to receive a printed version of the AUP from your campus or access it digitally below.  The AUP Agreement must be signed by the parent during the online registration process.

Disclaimer: Falsification of Enrollment Documentation

Under Section 37.10 of the Texas Penal Code (Tampering with Governmental Records), any person who knowingly falsifies information on a form required by the district for enrollment of a student commits an offense that carries monetary as well as possible criminal liability.  That person is liable for the maximum tuition fee the District may charge [see FDA] or the amount the District has budgeted per student as maintenance and operating expense, whichever is greater. The District retains the right to investigate the validity of any documents submitted for enrollment.
