Online enrollment for 2025-2026 open now

Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is open now!

Enrollment is an annual requirement and doesn't roll over from the previous school year, but for returning families, the process is an easy three-step completion. The process is handled through Home Access Center via a guardian’s account, which results in previous registration information being completed.

Enrolling your child as early as possible is one way you can help your campus and the district prepare for next school year. Please visit www.nisdtx.org/enroll to learn more!

NISD family survey deadline extended to April 28

The biennial Northwest ISD family survey has been extended to Monday, April 28! The survey should take about 5 to 15 minutes to complete. The English version of the survey will be available at www.nisdtx.org/survey, while a Spanish version is available at this link.

This survey is your resource to provide anonymous feedback about how our district and schools are serving your child as well as your family. Tell us what you feel is working and where you think we can improve. Respondents are asked to identify strengths and areas needing improvement on topics such as campus climate, safety, instruction, communication and support services. If you have children enrolled in more than one school, you will be able to take the school portion of the survey for each child.
