You are considered a returning Lockhart ISD student if you were enrolled in Lockhart ISD on the last day of school. This TEA required registration is done by updating your child’s information in Skyward Family Access along with participating in the district's back to school activities.

Submitting proof of residence (copy of current utility bill, current lease, or mortgage statement) is a required step in the process for students who are changing campuses or who have moved. You can use a mobile device to capture a picture of the document.
