Enrollment and Residency Verification
Students who have not completed the enrollment and residency process will not be permitted to attend classes the process is complete.
Residency verification is required for all ISD students, virtual and in-person. If you uploaded documents during the online registration process and received a confirmation email from the ISD, you do not need to bring those documents to the school. If you did not prove residency during registration, please bring the documentation listed below to the Chrisman office or email them to: WCBears@isdschools.org

Days With No School To Schedule Appointments/Out Of Town Travels
One of the most important ways a family can support their child's growth and learning is to make sure they are in attendance each day at school. There is absolutely no substitute for the quality of learning that takes place in a classroom led by an expert teacher with peers to collaborate with and share in the learning. There are many unpredictable events in life that can result in missing school, from simple sickness to family emergencies. It is important for our students' learning to make sure that for those events that are within our control, we are planning in ways that keep their attendance high and without interruption.
As a way to partner with families and help them with careful planning, here are the days that students are out of session for the 2022/2023 school year:
Monday, September 5th
Friday, September 23rd
Friday, October 21st
Tuesday, November 8th
