New & Returning Student Registration Now Open
Returning student verification is open! Visit www.bisdtx.org/registration for more information.
Returning student verification is required for all students who are currently enrolled in BISD and returning with us for the 2024-2025 school year. Log into your Family Access account now to complete the verification process.
After logging into Family Access, you will select "Returning Student Online Registration". This process allows you to verify all of your child's information is correct and provide updates for any important information that has changed such as contact phone numbers, emergency contacts, and student health history.
Student Information Verification for returning students must be completed before students can receive teacher assignments or schedules, care from campus healthcare professionals, or bus transportation for the 2024-25 school year.
If you cannot remember your Family Access credentials, use the Forgot Your Login/Password? link. If you're still having trouble logging in to Family Access, contact your child's current campus for assistance. If you are enrolling a new student who is the sibling of a student currently enrolled in BISD, you do not need to create a new Family Access account. You can enroll a new student by selecting "New Student Online Enrollment".
