Chapel Hill ISD has an open-enrollment policy for students who reside within our district and have all state-mandated immunizations. We have an online process for enrolling new students using Skyward software. Please read the information below on how to join the Bulldog Family!       

If none of your children have been enrolled in Chapel Hill ISD, please create an account for your online enrollment here: New Student Enrollment: Account Request. Once an account has been created, you will be emailed your username and password to proceed to the enrollment application.

If you currently have students enrolled in Chapel Hill ISD or have in the past, please log in to your Skyward Family Access Account to enroll your new student.

After you complete the online application, contact the campus to schedule an appointment with the registrar and to visit the counselor to complete a schedule of classes.
