Returning Student Registration Opens July 6

Returning Student Registration is for students who were enrolled in East Central ISD on the last day of school of the current 2025-2026 school year and will return for the 2026-2027 school year. Families will complete the online registration process through ParentPortal to update student information, confirm contact details, review important forms and submit any required documents. 

Important note for students entering 6th or 9th grade: Residency Verification is required as part of the returning student registration process. Parents/guardians will have the opportunity to upload an image of an approved proof of residency document at the end of online registration. If you experience any issues uploading the document, please email it to your child’s current campus registrar using the contact information listed below.
