• 2025-2026 Registration steps for students new to 

    Oak Forest 

    We’re excited to begin the enrollment process for the 2025-2026 school year. To ensure that we can provide the best possible accommodations for all our students, we’ve outlined a 4-step enrollment process.  

    Registration is available for students entering Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Please note that Oak Forest Elementary does not offer Pre-K.  Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis, contingent upon the completion of all required registration documents. HISD does not allow schools to hold spaces for new incoming students. Your registration forms will not be processed until all documents have been received.

     

    Step 1: Complete the Pre-Registration form.  Prompt submission will assist in planning for all of our students.  Please note that while completing the Pre-Registration form is an important step in our enrollment process, it does not guarantee enrollment. The form is used solely to gather information and help us plan accordingly for the upcoming school year.

    Step 2: Students new to HISD will need to complete the online application at ENROLL HERE and select the 2025-2026 school year.   HISD will be opening online enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year on April 2nd. 

     

    Please note that you will be required to upload the birth certificate, immunization records, proof of residency and your driver's license to the online enrollment portal.  Current HISD students may skip to step 3.  

     

    Step 3: Complete the Oak Forest Registration Packet - Download and complete the Oak Forest Registration Packet. Please do not print the forms front and back. Make sure all sections are filled out completely to avoid delays. If you need assistance with printing, please call 713-613-2536 to schedule a pick-up.

    Step 4: Please email Theresa Velasquez - theresa.velasquez@houstonisd.org for an appointment. Bring in all required documents and the completed Registration Packet to your appointment. 

    Please make sure you have completed steps 1-3 and have all your documents before coming to school for your registration appointment.  See Registration Checklist below for required documents.   Incomplete documents will result in an incomplete registration, and you will not secure your spot at Oak Forest Elementary.  Documents may not be emailed to complete your registration.

     

    For any questions or concerns, please email Theresa.Velasquez@houstonisd.org or call 713-613-2536. 

    PLEASE NOTE: Submission of this document certifies that all information is true and accurate. Enrollment of a child under false documents subjects the person to liability for tuition and costs under Texas Education Code §25.001(h).
