The Norris School District has full grade levels. On our K-5th elementary school campuses Norris Elementary is full at every grade level.  Bimat Elementary is full in four of the six grade levels, Olive Drive Elementary is full in two of the six grade levels and Veterans Elementary is full in one grade level.  Even in grade levels that are not completely full, there may only be space for one or two students before becoming full.  Late registering students, this includes any students registering right up and through the opening of school, will be assigned to campuses where there is space.  It is possible that some students on each school’s attendance rolls will not return and have not informed the school.  If space is created in this manner, the earliest registering student gets first shot at the vacancy.  If late registrations require adding an additional teacher after school starts, the last registered will be the first moved out to a new classroom.

At the middle school grades, late registration may mean your child does not have an accurate class schedule for the first day of school.  The earlier a student is registered the earlier we can get records from the previous school and get a student appropriately placed.  Adolescents are nervous enough the first day in a new school without waiting in line to get registered, meet with a Dean, then eventually get a class schedule which may get changed once the student’s records are received.

It is important if you live within the Norris School District boundaries that you register your children as soon as possible (6940 Calloway at the District Office until August 1st). 

Parents moving into any school district should always plan on registering early AND let the previous school know you have left.
