Register today for 2022-2023 school year
Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year remains open!

Enrolling your child — and providing annual proof of residency — as early as possible is one way that you can help your campus and the district prepare for the next school year. The more families enroll early, the fewer class-balancing changes the district has to make after the school year begins. Early enrollment helps us have teachers where they need to be to meet the needs of our families.

Please visit www.nisdtx.org/enroll to begin the enrollment process for returning students, currently enrolled students and new students to Northwest ISD.
