Registration & Enrollment
Welcome To The 2026 - 2027 School Year
The annual online registration window for Ricardo ISD students for the 2026 - 2027 school year is now open.
Similar to previous year, we will require that parents/guardians log into/create their Ascender Parent Portal account to complete student registration and update information for all new or returning students. All parents/guardians should verify all information submitted for registration. Step by step instructions are available through links listed below under FAQ & Parent Portal Guides & Common Problems.
*Before attending in person student registration, all parents/guardians must complete the online registration portion.*

To expedite your in person registration process, you may print and fill out forms under the Ricardo ISD Documents tab and bring them with you to in person registration. These same forms will be made available and required at in person registration. A link to the tab OR the PDF versions of the files are also available at the bottom of this page.
