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: Enroll Your New Student Through Ascender ParentPortal

Lago Vista ISD utilizes a web portal, Ascender ParentPortal, which allows parents to view attendance records, as well as update contact information online. The information provided in ParentPortal is what the school uses to contact parents, so it is very important that all information provided in ParentPortal is correct and up-to-date. Parents enrolling a new student in the District will create a ParentPortal 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.  Note: To complete this online enrollment through Ascender, you must be on a desktop or laptop computer because it is not compatible with mobile devices.

In addition to providing important student information, parents will provide the District with the required documentation for enrollment through Ascender ParentPortal. Before student enrollment will be processed, all students entering Lago Vista ISD must upload copies of the following documents into Ascender ParentPortal:

  • 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 Ascender ParentPortal 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 ParentPortal, 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 2: Complete Annual Student Registration Process

Each year, parents of existing and newly enrolled Lago Vista ISD students must complete the annual registration process online.  Registration forms provide the District with official documentation of important permissions, acknowledgments, and information required by the State to qualify students for services. 

Please Note: In order to complete registration forms for a student in Ascender ParentPortal, the email address you have verified for your Ascender ParentPortal account must match the email address we have in our system for the student's first parent contact.  If you can see the student, but not the registration forms, either you are not the first parent contact, or your email address does not match.  If your email address does not match, you must either a) change the email address on your Ascender ParentPortal account and verify it, or b) contact your campus registrar and ask to have your email address changed in our system.


RETURNING Student Registration Process

 

Please note that a "returning student" is a student who was enrolled in Lago Vista ISD on the last day of school in the previous school year. If a student attended Lago Vista ISD in the previous school year, but withdrew prior to the last day of school, he/she must re-enroll as a new student (in this case, please contact your campus registrar first).  Each year, parents of returning students must complete the following steps: 

 

Step 1: Create Your Ascender ParentPortal Account & Link to Your Student(s)

If you have not done so already, please visit the Lago Vista ISD Ascender ParentPortal site and create your account. 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. 

In order to link to your student's information in Ascender ParentPortal, 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 and can be obtained by contacting the campus registrar. If you have multiple students, you will enter the Student Portal ID for each student into your account.  Note: Please understand that requests for assistance with Portal IDs may take longer to process during peak times of the year.

 

Step 2: Verify/Update Your Information in Ascender ParentPortal

Parents of currently enrolled students are asked to log into their Lago Vista ISD Ascender ParentPortal account to verify/update student information at the beginning of each school year. Parents can update addresses, parent/guardian information, and emergency contact information throughout the year if there is a change.  After you submit the updated information, your campus registrar will receive the request and process it accordingly. If there are any questions about the changes submitted, the campus will contact you directly.

Have a disabled ParentPortal account?  If your Lago Vista ISD Ascender ParentPortal account is disabled and attempts to create a new account provide an error that your email address is already being used by another user, please send an email from the address of the disabled account to mkaiser@lagovistaisd.net to have the account removed. This will allow you to create a new user account using that same email address.  Once your new account is created, you will need a Student Portal ID (a unique code separate from your child's Student ID) from the campus and the student's birthdate in order to link to the student's information.  Note: Please understand that requests for assistance with disabled accounts may take longer to process during peak times of the year.

 

Step 3: Complete Annual Student Registration Process

Student registration forms are collected for all enrolled students each year. Registration forms provide the District with official documentation of important permissions, acknowledgments, and information required by the State to qualify students for services.  

Please Note: In order to complete registration forms for a student in Ascender ParentPortal, the email address you have verified for your Ascender ParentPortal Account must match the email address we have in our system for the student's first parent contact.  If you can see the student, but not the registration forms, either you are not the first parent contact, or your email address does not match.  If your email address does not match, you must either a) change the email address on your Ascender ParentPortal account and verify it, or b) contact your campus registrar and ask to have your email address changed in our system.
