Enrolling New Students
Parents enrolling their student for the first time should contact the school at which their child will attend. A child must be five years of age on or before September 1 to enter kindergarten and six years old on or before September 1 to enter first grade.

A birth certificate or hospital record from the time of birth that shows parent names - child's name and birthdate, two proofs of residency, the child's social security card and immunizations record are needed. A current utility bill may be used as one proof of residency; the other must be a voter registration card, an apartment lease, or the closing date on a house. (Closing date must fall within the first six weeks of school to be eligible for enrollment). Contact the Student Services Office at 972-727-7115 to verify eligibility if you have any questions. 

Enrolling Student Transfers
Families moving to Allen with students not currently enrolled in the Allen ISD may register their child at the school they will be attending. Call the Public Information Office, 972.727.0510, if you are unsure which school your child will be attending.

Two proofs of residency, the child's social security card, immunization record and his or her most recent report card are required of students transferring into AISD. A current utility bill may be used as one proof of residency; the other must be a voter registration card, an apartment lease, or a contract on a house.* Other records will be requested by the district via mail as needed.

* Date of occupancy may determine enrollment eligibility. Contact school for more information.

Sister Schools (New Families Please Read)
Due to rapid enrollment growth in Allen, the enrollment numbers at some schools may exceed the building capacity in various grade levels. As you enroll your child in Allen ISD, please be aware that new students may be assigned to a "sister" school outside of their attendance area if enrollment capacity is reached at their home school. District transportation will be provided if applicable. As slots become available, the student may transfer back to the home school or remain at the assigned school.

This temporary problem will gradually be resolved with the opening of Mary Evans Elementary School in 2008-09 and another elementary school in 2009-10.

Please contact the Office of Administrative Services at 972.727.7115 for more information about this transfer policy.
