Primary School Open Enrollment for 2020-21 Starts April 1

Starting April 1, families can begin the online pre-registration enrollment process, which ends April 30.

Each spring, Aldine ISD begins pre-registration for students entering prekindergarten and kindergarten the following school year.

The early registration process gives parents information to ease the enrollment process. It also assists the district in planning for enrollment growth and staffing needs.

Students who will turn five years of age by September 1 of the current year can pre-register for kindergarten during open enrollment.

Students who will turn four years of age by September 1 of the current year can pre-register for prekindergarten during open enrollment. They must also qualify to attend PreK programs that are offered for free and meet the eligibility criteria. Visit the primary schools’ webpage to read the full criteria and eligibility requirements.

At the Primary Schools webpage, families can also see a list of documents you will need to bring with you to finalize the enrollment process once the schools reopen.
