“Kindergarten Roundup” is the HPISD district-wide effort to enter all new families into the HPISD system (called “Skyward”) and to begin educating parents on all things HPISD, UP, and kindergarten. All the following information (and more) is available on the HPISD website, (“Parents/Students” tab, “Enrolling a New Student” page). The following information is a summary of what is found on the HPISD page.

Step 1: Skyward and documentation

Starting now, parents are encouraged to create a new Skyward account. This will officially enter your family and your student into the HPISD system.

Upon creating a new account, parents will be asked to submit preliminary residency documentation via the document uploader in Skyward. These documents will be submitted again in the summer during the annual districtwide “Back to School Signup” (“BSSU”) process that all students, both new and current, complete. Registration in Skyward will automatically enroll you to receive all BSSU notifications.
