New Student Enrollment & Registration Process
|
Prior to attending a school in Lago Vista ISD, a new student must be enrolled. A new student is one who has never attended a school in Lago Vista ISD, or is a previous Lago Vista ISD student who withdrew prior to the last day of school in the previous school year. If you have previously been enrolled at any campus in LVISD, please contact your campus registrar before enrolling online!
To enroll in Lago Vista ISD, a student must reside within the school district boundaries or be accepted as an out-of-district transfer student. Parents enrolling a new student must complete the following steps:
Step 1: Pre-Register Your Student
In order to help us determine numbers and class sizes, parents are strongly encouraged to complete the online pre-registration for EACH CHILD they intend to enroll for the upcoming school year. Click here to complete the online pre-registration form for your student.
Step 2: Enroll Your New Student Through Ascender Parent Portal
Please note: To complete this step, you must be on a desktop or laptop computer as it is not compatible with mobile devices.
All students Lago Vista ISD utilizes a web portal, Ascender Parent Portal, which allows parents to view attendance records, as well as update contact information online. The information provided in Parent Portal is what the school uses to contact parents, so it is very important that all information provided in Parent Portal is correct and up-to-date. Parents enrolling a new student in the District will create a Parent Portal account and submit enrollment information to the District electronically. Parents enrolling multiple new students will create only one account and submit enrollment information for each student using that account.
In addition to providing important student information, parents will provide the District with the required documentation for enrollment through Ascender Parent Portal. Before student enrollment will be processed, all students entering Lago Vista ISD must upload copies of the following documents into Ascender Parent Portal:
- Up-to-Date Immunization Records (See below for requirements.)
- Student Birth Certificate
- Student Social Security Card (A state ID may also be used.)
- Proof of Residency
- Enrolling Parent or Guardian Photo ID
- Custodial Paperwork (Required, if applicable.)
Information on Proof of Residency
Residence Verification Affidavit
To begin, please visit the Lago Vista ISD Parent Portal site. During your account creation, you will be asked to verify your email address. This is an important step and failure to verify your email address will disable your account. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure continued access to your account.
Once your student's enrollment is processed, you will receive confirmation from the campus. In order to link to your student's information in Ascender Parent Portal, you will need a Student Portal ID (a unique code separate from your child's Student ID) from the campus. Student Portal IDs are distributed by the campus at the beginning of the school year. If you have multiple students, you will enter the Student Portal ID for each student into your account.
Step 3: Complete Annual Student Registration Process
Each year, parents of existing and newly enrolled Lago Vista ISD students must complete the annual registration process. Registration forms provide the District with official documentation of important permissions, acknowledgments, and information required by the State to qualify students for services. Annual registration form packets are sent home at the beginning of school. Completed and signed registration forms are required for each student, each year.
