Returning Student vs. New Student Document Requirements

Please note the following required documents for enrollment are only necessary for students who are new to Northwest ISD. Families of students who already attend Northwest ISD should have previously submitted these documents.

The only document required annually for all students – both returning and new to the district – is a proof of residency. If immunizations or other changes have occurred, those documents should also be submitted again.

  • Student Birth Certificate
  • Social Security Card: This document is optional. NISD uses a student's Social Security Number for submissions under the Public Information Management System. If a parent chooses not to provide a Social Security Nard, NISD will assign a state-approved identifier.
  • Student Immunization Records: These documents will only need to be updated after initial enrollment if a change has occurred.
  • Photo ID of Legal Guardian: These documents will only need to be updated after initial enrollment if a change has occurred.
  • Proof of Residency: Families may choose to provide proof of residency with a single document of any item listed below.
    • Utility bill (Gas, Water, Electric, Trash) showing service address, usage, and name of guardian
    • Current, signed lease/rental document (for 30 days and then a utility bill)
    • Closing documents for home purchase (for 30 days and then a utility bill)
  • Custody or Other Legal Documents: These documents pertaining to the student are only necessary if applicable to the family situation.
  • Most Recent Transcript or Report Card: These documents should be required for new students if available.
