Enrollment

Registering Your Child in GCCISD

Below are guidelines to help in the enrollment of students new to Goose Creek CISD:

• The adult enrolling a student must establish his/her relationship to the student. (Birth Certificate, Court Papers, CPS Order, etc.) If the adult is not the parent, the school needs to know where parent/parents are.
• Proof of the parent or guardian's residence entitles the student to enrollment in Goose Creek Schools. (Schools are assigned on the basis of residential address).
• A current lease, rental agreement deed or a current utility bill (water, gas, electric) are required proof of residency.
• A record of immunizations showing that the child is current on all required shots is required.
• A withdrawal form or a report card from the previous school, the name, address, and phone number of the school are required.
• A Social Security Card is requested but not required.

Transfer Students

If you are interested in obtaining a student transfer for your child from one Goose Creek CISD school to another, you will need to contact the office of Student Services to obtain the In-District Transfer Request form. It must be completed and returned to the Office of Student Services. According to District guidelines, transfers are allowed for "extreme extenuating circumstances" only.

Please note:

If your residence or housing is uncertain, you lack a permanent physical address, or you live at a temporary address, you can still enroll in school. Contact the school's attendance clerk or the District's liaison, Lisa Vaughn, 281-420-4423 for more information.
