This form is not a survey. It is a required form asking each parent to enroll their child and choose the preferred education model for their child: attending school in-person or receiving a virtual education. Through this form, you will also provide other key pieces of information to assist with our planning, including questions on bus transportation, devices and internet connectivity.

All students, whether a previous or new Alief ISD student, will need to complete an enrollment form this year. Please visit www.aliefisd.net/enroll to enroll your child for the 2020-2021 school year. If you have more than one child who will attend Alief ISD, you will need to register each child separately.

Please know that we are aware of the alarming increase in COVID-19 cases in the greater Houston area and specifically in the Alief area. This health concern will play a critical role in our decisions for opening school for the 2020-2021 school year.

For the time being, in order for Alief ISD to prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, we are asking each parent to enroll your child and choose the preferred education model for your child: attending school in-person or receiving a virtual education.

Providing a safe environment for our students and staff is our top priority, and additional safety measures will be put in place in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 both in our schools and on school buses. By providing your education setting preference, you will help us in planning our safety guidelines for the 2020-2021 school year.

Again, please know Alief ISD is aware of the significant increases in COVID-19 cases across the Houston area, and that in-person school may not be possible at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. Regardless, it is important for us to have as much information possible to accurately plan for your child.

Parents/guardians must submit an application for each student attending Alief ISD schools during the 2020-2021 school year.

Parents/guardians do not need to create a new account for each student application. Within your account, you will be able to apply for multiple students. After completing the first student's application, on the Next Steps page, you will be given the opportunity to submit another student's application.

To make the registration process easier, when starting your second student's application, you will be able to import your answers from the previous application so that you do not have to fill out the majority of the form twice. For example, by using the import function, you will only need to fill out the parent/guardian contact information and emergency contact information once.

For new and current students who are enrolling in 9th to 12th grade, the application will state that you are zoned to the "Alief Support Facility." This is due to Alief ISD not having traditional zoning for our ninth grade centers and high schools.

NEXT STEPS:

• If the high school student is new to Alief ISD or returning to Alief ISD but did not attend school in Alief last school year, the Alief ISD Student Services Department will reach out to the parent/guardian regarding the high school lottery. Within the form, under the "School" field, you can type in "TBD."
• If the high school student is a current district student (attended Alief ISD schools last school year), type in the student's high school name under the "School" field.

Those approved to attend a different school must still fill out this registration form. 

• If your child was an approved in-district transfer or approved to attend a different school due to a specialized program (ex. Mandarin Immersion Program at Petrosky Elementary School), your physical address will show the zoned school. However, you will be able to put your approved school change in the "School" field below Enrolled Grade and complete the remainder of the form.
• If your child is an approved out-of-district transfer, your physical address will show as not zoned to Alief ISD, but you will be able to put your approved school change in the "School" field below Enrolled Grade and complete the remainder of the form.
  

Yes, parents who have previously filled out the new student registration form are asked to fill out this updated form.

Through this updated form, parents can now choose the preferred education model for each child (attending school in-person or receiving a virtual education) and answer other key questions that help Alief ISD prepare for the 2020-2021 school year.

Employees residing outside of Alief ISD whose children were approved to attend Alief ISD schools through an out-of-district transfer must fill out this registration form.

If your child is an approved out-of-district transfer, your physical address will show as not zoned to Alief ISD, but you will be able to put your approved school change in the "School" field below Enrolled Grade and complete the remainder of the form.

No. Prospective students who reside outside of Alief ISD boundary who are interested in attending Alief ISD schools must apply through the Limited Open Enrollment Program. That program and its separate application are on the LOE website at www.aliefisd.net/loe.

Once approved for Limited Open Enrollment, the student will be notified to fill out the enrollment application (New and Current Student Registration).

Parents and guardians who are in need of technical assistance with their PowerSchool online registration account can reach out to PowerSchool directly. Technical issues may include:

• Account log-in
• Difficulty filling out the form and attaching files

Please note that some questions may be answered through the Help portion of the PowerSchool website.

For technical assistance with the registration platform used for the New and Current Student Registration, please call PowerSchool’s help number at 1-866-752-6850.

To protect student and parent information, PowerSchool representatives will assist you with your account once they verify your identity.

After submitting the enrollment application for the 2020-2021 school year, we will begin reviewing your application. 

NEXT STEPS:

• Students returning to Alief ISD who attended Alief schools last school year: Your school will contact you regarding the school-specific next steps. Please be on the lookout for a call, text, or email from the school.
• Students new to Alief ISD or students who are returning to Alief ISD but did not attend Alief schools last school year: We will contact you to complete the registration process. If the application is incomplete, and registration documents are missing, the school will contact you directly.
