ATTENTION: Online registration will open for the 2025-26 school year on Monday, April 14, 2025. OLR links for the 25-26 school year will not be active until this date.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: HCBOE Policy JBCB for Proof of Residency Guidelines has been updated.  Please click the link to read the complete policy. Two important changes to know prior to completing OLR: 

1. HCSD will no longer accept a voter’s registration document as a proof of residency.
2. Parent/Guardian's address listed on their driver’s license must match the address on their additional documentation for Harris County proofs of residency.  

Note: If you are trying to register your child for Pre-K for the 25-26 school year, and have not completed a Pre-K application, please make sure you complete THIS FORM first!
