Registration

For the 2024-25 school year, all campus registrations will be completed online. After students have registered online, campus registrars will communicate with parents if any further required information or documentation is needed to complete the process. If parents have a question or need assistance with online registration, please contact the registrar of your child's campus or attend one of the scheduled Parent Assistance Sessions.

The Texas Education Code (TEC) 25.001 requires schools to comply with all responsibilities concerning enrollment, withdrawals and registrations. If you have any questions or need assistance with enrolling, withdrawing or registering your child, please contact your school.

If you require additional assistance, you may contact the Student Support Services Department at (915) 877-7650.

Families who have been displaced, experiencing homelessness and students who are in foster care or kinship care may register without certain documents. Contact Student Support Services at (915) 877-7650 for more information.

Please note: Once the online registration paperwork is submitted, additional or updated documentation may be required at a later time. The campus registrar may need to contact you to help your registration be completed correctly.

Pre-K and Kinder Student Registration

The Canutillo Independent School District understands the importance of a strong foundation for students. It is now offering a new full-day pre-kindergarten program free of charge at all campuses for qualified El Paso-area families for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Canutillo is able to provide this opportunity thanks to the passage of House Bill 3, which was signed into law in 2019 and provides state funding for full-day pre-K programs for families who meet certain criteria.

If you are registering your child for the first time in Pre-K or Kinder, and if you have older children who are current students, you will use the same family Parent Portal account login and password for your Pre-K/Kinder child. Parents that are new to registering a student at Canutillo ISD are required to create a new parent portal account.

Steps to enroll a child in Pre-K or Kinder

1. Submit an application through the Parent Portal
2. Application is reviewed by CISD staff for eligibility
3. If approved, you will be required to attend a Parent Orientation Session (see scheduled sessions below)
4. If your student does not qualify for Pre-K at his/her designated campus, you may still register them for a Universal Pre-K spot at any CISD campus on a first come-first served basis

• Current Immunization record
