Online registration advised
Hays CISD online registration remains available for returning students. The process “will not eliminate all paperwork, (but) it will definitely quicken the registration process,” according to the district. All pre-registered parents receive a “FASTPASS” to quickly move through the paperwork tables at their designated campuses on back-to-school day or night. For parents needing computer access, school computer labs are available. To begin online registration, visit the district’s website homepage at www.hayscisd.net/ and click on the red box titled “Student Registration.” The district has established an email help address at [email protected].
New-to-the-district students must register in person at the appropriate campus. The necessary enrollment forms may be downloaded – and details of required information are available – at www.hayscisd.net/StudentRegistration.
