Student Enrollment and Education Information
PEIMS Department
Welcome to Chapel Hill ISD! We are excited to serve our community and welcome all students who meet the state’s age and health requirements for enrollment. If your child has never attended Chapel Hill ISD, or did not complete the previous school year in our district, you will need to complete the New Student Enrollment online. This allows us to create your child’s student record and start preparing for their arrival. Once that has been submitted, a campus registrar will contact regarding any remaining registration steps. We look forward to welcoming your family to Chapel Hill ISD.
GO BULLDOGS!

In Texas, a child may be enrolled in public school by a parent, legal guardian, or another adult who has parental responsibility for the student. Students must be between the ages of 5 and 21 and reside within the school district to enroll. In some cases, other authorized adults such as foster parents, designated caregivers, or relatives who provide primary care for the child may also enroll a student in school.
-
Every child in Texas has the right to a free public education. A parent (or other person standing in parental relation to a child) may enroll the child in school in the district in which he or she lives or enroll in another option, such as a charter school. Compulsory attendance applies to students who are at least six years old as of September 1 of the applicable school year. For more information on enrollment and compulsory attendance, please see Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 25.
