Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten Students
Kindergarten preregistration for 2015-2016 classes will be held at all elementary schools on April 9 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m.

A child must be five-years old on or before Sept. 1, 2015 to be eligible for the full-day program (with no exceptions). To register, parents must provide the school with the documents listed at the end of this article.

For additional information on where to register kindergarten students, parents can contact their neighborhood elementary school. A student currently enrolled in the district’s prekindergarten program will be automatically registered for kindergarten. Therefore, there is no need for parents of current prekindergarten students to attend the kindergarten registration on April 9.

Prekindergarten for LEP Students
Parents of LEP students—students who are unable to speak and comprehend the English language—may preregister their student on April 9 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. at the prekindergarten campus in their attendance zone. LEP students must be present at the time of preregistration to determine, through testing, whether or not the student qualifies for the program. To be eligible for the half-day prekindergarten program, students must be four-years old on or before Sept. 1, 2015. 

The prekindergarten program is currently being offered at the following 47 campuses: Adam, Andre’, Ault, Bane, Bang, Black, Copeland, Danish, Duryea, Emery, Emmott, Farney, Fiest, Francone, Frazier, Gleason, Hamilton, Hairgrove, Hemmenway, Holbrook, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell, Kirk, Lamkin, Lee, Lieder, Lowery, Matzke, McFee, Metcalf, Millsap, Moore, Owens, Post, Postma, Reed, Rennell, M. Robinson, A. Robison, Sheridan, Swenke, Tipps, Walker, Willbern, Wilson and Yeager.


To find out which school a student is currently zoned to, go to the campus locator on the district website under Parents & Students > Registration > Which School Do I Attend?. You will need your street name and zip code. 

Since not every school has a prekindergarten program, parents may call the neighborhood elementary school to help determine the school in which to register their child. Parents or guardians must provide all required documents listed below in order to preregister.

Preregistration Documents
Parents should bring the following documents to preregister their students:
  • A certified copy of the child’s birth certificate from the Bureau of Vital Statistics (see City of Houston Bureau of Vital Statistics to obtain a birth certificate, if born in the city of Houston); 
  • current immunization record; 
  • proof of residency (i.e., a lease agreement or a gas, electric or water bill); 
  • photo ID of parent or guardian (a parent or guardian must sign the application); and
  • a social security card for each child, if available.
