New this year: To complete registration, families must upload proof of residency dated April 2025 or later and a parent or guardian photo ID.

New Student Enrollment

For students who will be new to Athens ISD this fall — including those entering pre-K or kindergarten — enrollment takes place at the campus your child will attend. To begin, complete the New Student Enrollment form. The online form allows families to create a Family Access account (if you don't already have one), complete essential forms, and upload required documents, including:

  • Birth certificate

  • Immunization records

  • Proof of residence (e.g., utility bill or lease)

  • Parent/guardian photo ID

  • Student’s Social Security card

  • Any applicable legal documents

  • Incoming Pre-K students will need proof of qualification, such as proof of income.

To finalize enrollment, bring physical copies of those documents to your student’s campus.

Pre-K and Kindergarten Requirements

  • Pre-K3, students must be 3 years old by September 1, 2025

  • Pre-K4, students must be 4 years old by September 1, 2025

  • Kindergarten, students must be 5 years old by September 1, 2025

There is no cost to attend pre-K3 (half day) or pre-K4 (full day) for qualifying students. Eligibility is typically based on income or other state-approved criteria. For more information about pre-K qualifications, contact the campus your child will attend.
