returning student registration

Jarrell ISD Returning Student Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is now open. Parents/guardians must complete their JISD student’s registration online to ensure the district has your child’s up-to-date information.

Before you begin:

  • Returning Registration is completed through Ascender Parent Portal.
  • All parents/guardians are required to have an Ascender account. If you have more than one child in Jarrell ISD. Note: Only the parent identified as Contact Parent #1 may update a student's account. The email address you have on file with the school should be used to set up your account.

To update or verify your child’s information:

  • Link your child to your account. Parents must link student(s) to their account and must be listed as the Contact Parent #1 to update the student's returning registration. Parents will be asked to verify their email and phone number to link their students. A Parent Portal Code is used to link existing students. This is a unique alphanumeric code that can only be obtained by contacting your campus registrar or the district PEIMS coordinator.
  • Once you have linked your student, you will see a red Registration button under your student's profile in the Summary section of your Ascender Parent Portal. Click the red Registration button to update or verify your child’s information.
  • If you have moved or will be at a different address at the start of the next school year, you are required to upload a proof of residency document (utility bills, cable bills with a listed service address, lease agreements or mortgage statements) within the portal.
  • New this year: Fillable PDFs. In order to complete the registration process, follow prompts to upload all required PDF documents within Ascender Parent Portal.

New Student Enrollment 

New student enrollment for the 2021-22 school year will open in mid-June. 
  
Please note: Students who were registered for Pre-K or Kindergarten during Pre-K and Kindergarten Roundup in May are registered for the coming school year and do not need to register again.
