The hallways are quiet for now, but that’s going to change soon. Paris Independent School District just dropped the news that they’re hosting an in-person registration event for incoming Pre-K and Kindergarten students on April 10, 2026. It’s for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, which feels like a long way off, or maybe it’s closer than we think.
Everything is happening at the Paris Junior High gymnasium over on 2400 Jefferson Road. They’re keeping the doors open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., which is a solid window if you’re trying to juggle a work schedule or just general chaos. They really want people to come in person—actually, it’s just the best way to get all the paperwork sorted and make sure everything is accurate right from the start.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to get ahead of the school year. You know how these things go; the earlier you get it done, the smoother the transition for the kids. It’s really just about getting everyone into the system early so nobody is scrambling in August.
Make sure you have your stuff ready, though. You’ll need the child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and social security card. Also, bring custody papers if that applies, proof of income for Pre-K, proof of residency, and your driver’s license. I always forget something like the license when I’m rushing out the door—better double-check that bag twice.
Paris ISD seems to be leaning into this welcoming vibe for the new families joining the fold.
Registration day is coming up fast. Hope you have a folder ready to keep those documents organized.
