Registration
All Campuses Move to Online Registration
For the 2024-25 school year, all campus registrations will be completed online. After students have registered online, campus registrars will communicate with parents if any further required information or documentation is needed to complete the process. If parents have a question or need assistance with online registration, please contact the registrar of your child's campus or attend one of the scheduled Parent Assistance Sessions.
When registering your child for the upcoming school year, please note that the current 2023 - 2024 school year is still open to register. You must select the academic year 2024 - 2025 from the drop-down menu in order to register for the new school year.
The Texas Education Code (TEC) 25.001 requires schools to comply with all responsibilities concerning enrollment, withdrawals and registrations. If you have any questions or need assistance with enrolling, withdrawing or registering your child, please contact your school.
If you require additional assistance, you may contact the Student Support Services Department at (915) 877-7650.
Families who have been displaced, experiencing homelessness and students who are in foster care or kinship care may register without certain documents. Contact Student Support Services at (915) 877-7650 for more information.
Please note: Once the online registration paperwork is submitted, additional or updated documentation may be required at a later time. The campus registrar may need to contact you to help your registration be completed correctly.

Pre-K and Kinder Student Registration
The Canutillo Independent School District understands the importance of a strong foundation for students. It is now offering a new full-day pre-kindergarten program free of charge at all campuses for qualified El Paso-area families for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Canutillo is able to provide this opportunity thanks to the passage of House Bill 3, which was signed into law in 2019 and provides state funding for full-day pre-K programs for families who meet certain criteria.
If you are registering your child for the first time in Pre-K or Kinder, and if you have older children who are current students, you will use the same family Parent Portal account login and password for your Pre-K/Kinder child. Parents that are new to registering a student at Canutillo ISD are required to create a new parent portal account.
Steps to enroll a child in Pre-K or Kinder

Due to limited capacity, this opportunity will be on a first-come first-served basis. Check with your campus of interest for more information.
Montessori
Canutillo ISD is excited to expand its early childhood program by enrolling 3-year-olds in the first public Montessori program in the region. This free, dual-language program at Gonzalo & Sofia Garcia Elementary School and Deanna Davenport Elementary offer young children in the community an opportunity to learn at their own pace through hands-on experiences while developing real-world skills.

Students with a Medical or Conscientious Exemption
Without the proper documentation of required vaccinations or a valid medical or conscientious exemption, students will not be allowed to attend school. An original Conscientious Exemption Affidavit must be on file with the student’s school and is valid for two years. A Medical Exemption Letter must be obtained from a licensed medical provider and is valid for one year unless the letter states that the medical exemption is life-long.
If there is a confirmed case of any vaccine preventable disease in the Canutillo District, your child will be required to be excluded from school attendance for a prescribed amount of time. This is done to protect the health of any unvaccinated students at risk for contracting a disease. We are committed to the health and safety of your child.
If you are unsure of where or whether your child can receive vaccines, contact your healthcare provider, local health department or school nurse. For further information concerning the district’s procedures, please visit the district website www.canutillo-isd.org in the Parent Section.
We wish you a rewarding and productive school year!
