A child must be five years of age on or before September 1 of the current school year to enroll in kindergarten. Students may be subject to an assessment to determine eligibility for a grade if coming from a private institution. Contact the school principal for additional guidance. 

The following are required for first time enrollment.  After completing the online application, take these items to school to complete the registration process:

• Certified copy of the child’s birth certificate if the student is under the age of 11.
  • Other proof of birth (birth certificate, hospital birth record, school records, etc.) are acceptable if the student is 11 years old or older;
• Current immunization records as required by the Texas Department of State Health Services;
• Proof of residence [i.e. deed, lease agreement, OR a recent utility bill (water, electric or gas.)]
• Providing a Social Security card or number is optional. SMCISD will not refuse enrollment of any student opting not to provide a social security card/number. In lieu of a social security number, a state identification number will be provided for educational purposes only.
• Photo ID of parent or guardian (Texas law requires that a child must be enrolled by a parent, or guardian who has legal control of the student under a court order.)
