Returning Student Online Registration (Students that completed the 2023-24 school year in KISD)

If you have a student that attended Kountze ISD last year and you DO NOT have a Parent Portal account, you need to use the instructions above to create an account. Once you create your account please email smathews@kountzeisd.org your student(s) name(s) so I can send you the Portal ID you will need to add your student(s) to your account. 

Here are the steps to register your student for the 2024-2025 school year.

Once you have a parent portal account and we have your email account, you should get a “continue registration” button when you login to Parent Portal that looks like this. 
 
Even though you can’t see the whole button, just click on RESUME and it will start the registration process.

If you do not get the pop-up box, you should see a Registration button below your student on the Summary page to click on and then you will clcik on the Start Registration button like the one shown below.

If it DOES NOT ask to RESUME REGISTRATION or there is NOT a REGISTRATION button on a particular student, please make sure your email account is verified in your Parent Portal account (see instructions above).  If you still do not have an option to register your student please email smathews@kountzeisd.org for help.  Please include your phone number and issue in the email.

1. The first page you will see is your student’s information.  If anything is incorrect, just delete it and make the changes needed(some information can’t be changed).  Here is what that page will look like.
   
2.  Once you’ve verified the information and made any changes, click on the SAVE FORM button and then on the NEXT FORM button.
3. The second page you will see is the Contact Information.  If you have more than one contact assigned to your student you will see a box at the top with each person’s name in the box.  You will need to click on each name and verify the information and save the FORM. Be sure to click on EACH name at the top before you click on NEXT FORM.  Again, if anything needs to be changed, just delete the old information and make the changes needed.  Here is what the page will look like.  If you need to ADD a contact, just click the ADD CONTACT button and fill in the information and click on SAVE FORM.  If you need to DELETE a contact from a student, just click the checkbox at the bottom of the page that says “Mark for Deletion”.
   
4. Once you have verified/created ALL of the contact information, click on SAVE FORM and then NEXT FORM.
5. After the contact information page will be a copy of the 2024-25 Calendar for you to download/print.  Click NEXT FORM to move on after you’ve downloaded/printed the calendar.
6. Once you’ve done that, click NEXT FORM and it will move on through the rest of the forms.  There are about 12-14 more forms to fill out.  Most of them only require you to click a link to a document like the handbook, chromebook policy, etc, and click NEXT FORM to verify that you have viewed the information.  Some of them require certain information before you can move on.  Just continue filling out the forms and clicking on NEXT FORM until you reach the end.  On the last page you will see a FINISH AND SUBMIT TO DISTRICT button shown below.  Click it and you are finished with that student.
   
   When you’re totatly done with a student you will see the following below their picutre on the Summary page.
   
   Complete these steps for each of your students.
