Enrollment and Transfers

As a public school system, Lamar CISD welcomes all students who live within the district's boundaries and meet state age and health requirements. For specific enrollment information, please contact your child's school. If you need to find out which school your child will attend, please use the School Finder to look up the attendance boundaries for your address.

Starting Thursday, July 24, 2025, students new to the district will register at their home campus. Please contact your home campus for more information on dates and times of operation. In order to allow campus staff time to prepare for the first day of school, there will be no student registration on Friday, August 8.

The first day of school for the 2025-2026 year is Monday, August 11.
