General Information

As a public school system, the Plano schools welcome all students who live within the boundaries of the Plano Independent School District and meet state age and health requirements. Students moving into the district during the summer may call their school to register before the start of the school year. Students who move into the district during the school year should make an appointment to enroll. A student is required to attend school in the attendance zone in which the family resides or obtain an approved transfer.

The natural parent, legal guardian or other person having legal control under a court order must enroll a student. (Any person who is not the natural parent or is not designated guardian of the child by a court order must register with the office of Student Services prior to enrolling the student). The person enrolling the student must present their driver's license or department of transportation identification card at the time of registration.

If a family has not yet moved into the school district but is building or purchasing a home within the district boundaries, a Certificate of Eligibility Form must be completed and the contract for purchase must be submitted to the Office of Student Services prior to enrolling.

Records necessary to enroll are:

  • Birth Certificate or Passport
  • Current Immunization Record Signed by a Physician
  • Proof of Residency in Plano ISD (natural gas or electricity bill, original lease agreement, or approved Certificate of Eligibility to Enroll form)
  • Most recent report card/withdrawal slip from previous school
  • Social Security Card (if available; if not, the student will be assigned a State ID number)
  • Parent's Driver's License or Texas Department of Transportation ID card or Guardian Information Form and Guardian's Driver's License or Texas Department of Transportation ID card (if parent or guardian is not a licensed driver in Texas nor has the person obtained a TXDOT ID card, other photo ID will be considered in combination with a birth certificate).

 

  • Note: During the enrollment process, students who indicate a language spoken other than English may require language assessment before the enrollment process is completed. Call the Multilingual Assessment Office at 469-752-8874 for additional information and to schedule a language assessment.
