Back-to-School Resources

South Texas ISD is approved to participate in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) during the 2024-2025 School Year, which will allow all STISD students to eat both breakfast and lunch for free.

Parents/guardians will still need to complete an Income Survey as part of their electronic registration packet in Skyward; however, all STISD students will qualify for free meals.

Student Registration will be completed electronically by all students/parents - new and returning - through Skyward, our student information system. This is a new process meant to streamline things for new and returning families and cut down on the amount of time spent on campus during Schedule Pick-Up. If you complete your child's electronic registration packet before Schedule Pick-Up, the amount of time you spend on campus that day will be minimal.
Click here for additional information on this process.

Campuses will hold “Schedule Pick-up” events in early August according to the following schedule:

• Tuesday, August 6: Schedule Pick-up for 6th, 9th, and 10th grade levels
