        Documentation

        • Welcome to Waxahachie ISD!  We are so glad you are here. 

           

          If your child is new to Waxahachie ISD this school year, please be prepared to present the following records:

          • Birth certificate (certified copy)
          • Evidence of the required immunizations or exemption documentation - Visit the Immunization page for details.
          • Last report card from the previous school (if a high school student, a transcript as well)
          • Proof of residency within WISD boundaries, such as a utility bill or mortgage statement.  If a current utility bill (electric, gas, water) or mortgage statement with a Waxahachie ISD address is not available, a contract on a home or apartment lease will suffice until you can provide a current utility bill as is required before starting school.  If you live with a WISD resident, please complete, notarize and return the Legal Residency Form to campus. 
          • Parent or guardian driver's license
          • Proof of guardianship, if not the child’s parent
          • New Student Enrollment Forms
          • Be sure to visit the Documents page for important items to assist with your WISD academic journey.

           

          New student registration will begin on Monday, July 25.
