General Enrollment 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
(2700 W. 15th Street, Plano) 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. A student 18 or more years of age living independently
must present evidence of age and complete the necessary form in
the office of Student Services prior to enrolling at the school.
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:

electricity bill, original lease agreement, or approved Certificate
of Eligibility to Enroll form)

In order to attend first grade in Plano ISD, a child must be six
years old on or before September 1 or have been previously enrolled
in the first grade of a public school in another state or have completed
public school kindergarten in another state. Children who are underage
but will become six between September 1 and December 31 may enroll
in first grade through the district's kindergarten acceleration
procedures. The child should be registered during the regular Kindergarten
Roundup at his/her school. Parents must attend a district informational
meeting in April and apply for kindergarten acceleration. Assessment
sessions are scheduled in June. Students who move into the district
in July and early August may be considered for acceleration assessment.
