Last Call for Data Verification for the 2024-2025 School Year: Reserve Your Spot by June 1st
Parents, as we prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, NISD has opened Data Verification for all of our currently enrolled school students. It is important that Data Verification be completed by June 1, 2024 to ensure that your child has a space at Elrod. If a Data Verification form is submitted after June 1 2024, it is possible that your child could be sent to our cluster campus (Timberwilde Elementary) if additional students enroll during open registration and classes become full. During this time, your child’s registration takes priority. Please do not delay.
You should have a received an email with detailed information on how to update your data verification through the NISD Home Access Center (HAC) website.
Once you are in HAC, click on the registration icon and go to the Update Enrollment tab where you can complete the returning student registration form.
If you have any trouble accessing HAC or you do not see one of your children, please contact the school office at 210-397-1800 and ask to speak with our attendance secretary, Mrs. Horstman, as she may be able to assist you with this process. If we are not able to resolve your issue, please complete the form using the link below and District staff can reset your password or link students in a family if necessary.
Elrod is at 91% completion rate for data verification. Thank you families for taking the time to update your child's information.
