Families with students already enrolled in the district can complete registration electronically via the Home Access Center. This convenient platform allows parents and guardians to update student information, provide required documents, and finalize enrollment for the upcoming school year. For current students not returning to the district in 2026-2027, families can notify the district of their plans through the registration form in the Home Access Center.
Students currently on a school transfer who wish to renew their transfer request must do so during the registration period. Failing to renew a transfer request during this timeframe could result in the loss of the transfer approval.
Required Documentation: All students are required to provide proof of residency, shot record, birth certificate and parent ID to complete the registration process. Proof of residency documentation must be related to a permanent residence such as a recent utility bill, military housing order, homeowner insurance policy or mortgage statement.
If families need assistance with registration, they are encouraged to contact their student’s school directly.
The registration process for new-to-the-district students will begin in late spring.

KISD supports student expression that is safe, respectful, and does not interrupt instruction. Families may wish to discuss alternatives to walkouts with their student, such as: passive expression (wearing a specific color of clothing, wristband, or button, as permitted by the Killeen ISD dress code), writing a letter or email to an elected official such as a member of Congress, or participating in discussions or community events outside of school hours.
The Texas Education Agency issued guidance to school districts on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, reinforcing that districts must protect instruction during the school day and follow state law and attendance requirements. Killeen ISD will follow this guidance.
In Killeen ISD, the focus remains on student safety and keeping students engaged in learning.
As a reminder, secondary campuses in Killeen ISD are closed campuses. Students may not leave campus during the school day without being signed out by a parent/guardian through the front office.
Any student who participates in a walkout will be marked absent and receive discipline consequences under attendance and truancy policies, as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
Under Killeen ISD policy FNCI(Legal), disruptive activity on school property include actions such as obstructing entrances, exits, or hallways or interfering with school operations. Student behavior that meets this definition will result in disciplinary consequences, including up to a Class B misdemeanor under the Texas Education Code § 37.123.
Killeen ISD respects student free speech and want students to be heard in ways that are safe, respectful, and appropriate during the school day. KISD thanks families for their partnership in keeping campuses safe and focused on learning.
A message was sent directly to parents/guardians of middle and high school students.
Here’s our Black History Month Spirit Days:
🖤 Thursday, Feb. 5 – Wear Black History colors: red, black, green, and gold/yellow
🌍 Thursday, Feb. 12 – Nationality Wear (African, Caribbean Islands, etc.)
👕 Thursday, Feb. 19 – Black History T-shirt & jeans
⭐ Thursday, Feb. 26 – Dress as your favorite Black History hero
Please remember to follow the KISD dress code.
Thanks for your support, and let’s have a great month! 💙❤️

Dear Iduma Families,
Happy New Year! We are excited to welcome our students back to campus for the start of the second semester! We were so thrilled by our students' behavior and attendance in December. We had the 3rd highest attendance rate for all KISD elementary schools.
We have a new incentive for the month of January. Students, who have no unexcused absences and are on time to school every single day, as well as have not received short forms or office referrals from today until January 30th, will be celebrated with a Glow Party! I have attached the flyer and students have already been told about it.
Here's a couple of ways we can help our students meet their goal:
1) Make sure students are on time to school every single day!
2) Provide notes for any absence or tardy if they aren't feeling well or have an appointment!
3) Encourage good behavior and reminders daily about school expectations!
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Nancy Van Riper-Howley
Asst. Principal
