Back-to-School "Extra Edition" 

There's a little less than a month until the first day of school, Aug. 22, so this information will help you prepare. In addition, Princeton ISD will continue to send out reminders and updates through "extra edition," but w e encourage you to follow  the district Facebook and Twitter to stay up-to-date, as well. Follow @princetonisd on Twitter and like the Princeton Independent School District page on Facebook.

REGISTER ONLINE NOW
Online registration is now open for returning students at Princeton ISD for the 2016-17 school year.  Online registration must be completed before students can pick up schedules.  Click here for instructions to complete the online registration for your student. Or log in to the Parent Portal and a message will guide you through registration. This process replaces the hard copy paperwork usually completed at the start of school.

If your student is currently enrolled in Princeton ISD and you do not have Parent Portal access, contact your child's campus by calling 469-952-5400 to set up an account or email  [email protected]. New students to PISD can register on any campus.

If you need help with username/password, email campus PEIMS clerks.
