Parents with students who are new to the district and/or did not complete the 2021-2022 school year at a BISD school should plan to complete the online enrollment application process instead. If parents need assistance with this process or have questions about required documents, contact the campus registrar. Visit the Get Started page to get started.

Beginning in July, parents with children returning to BISD will need to verify their child's information is correct in Family Access.

• Homeless
• Currently or previously in DFPS foster care system
• Dependent of active duty military
• Dependent of active duty military injured or killed while on active duty

Children who live in the BISD boundaries and who will be 5 years old on or before September 1st are eligible for Kindergarten. 

Please visit the Bastrop ISD What You Need to Enroll page.

Students are required to attend school in the attendance zone of their primary residence, with some limited exceptions for students enrolled in special programs. General information on BISD attendance zones is available on the Attendance Boundaries & Maps page.  If you need further assistance determining which attendance zone you live in, please contact our student transportation provider, GoldStar Transit, at 512-321-5262.

Official birth certificates may be obtained by calling the state health department in the state where your child was born. In Texas, you  may order a birth certificate online from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, call the office in Austin at 512-458-7111, or visit the Bastrop County Clerk's office in person to obtain a Texas birth certificate.  Please allow sufficient time for your request to be processed. 

All required documents should be uploaded as part of the online enrollment application with the exception of birth certificate and parent/guardian photo ID. These two original documents must be provided to the campus registrar in person. If you are unable to upload the documents successfully during the online enrollment application process, please contact your campus registrar for assistance.
