Weekly Message to CHISD Families
May 9, 2022
Dear Cedar Hill ISD Families,
Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize school nurses.
National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. In Cedar Hill ISD, we are lucky to have some of the most caring and qualified nurses to serve our scholars and campuses.
This week, I hope you will join me in celebrating these very important frontline workers.

Register Your Scholar for Next School Year
Scholars in grades Pre-K through 12 are now able to register for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. All CHISD scholars must complete registration every year and families can get started by accessing their Skyward Student Access accounts. Registration can be completed at chisd.net/register. Parents/Guardians will need their Family Access password to complete the registration process, for families who need assistance resetting their password they are asked to contact their campus registrars, a complete list of registrars is available at chisd.net/registrar.
If parents/guardians need assistance with returning student registration, we encourage them to contact their scholar’s attendance clerk. The Lacy Enrollment Center will be assisting new to district scholars, while the campuses will be supporting current CHISD families with returning student registration.
- For returning student registration, families will need to show their proof of residency with an April or May date with the parent/guardian listed on the bill.
- If registration is not completed, your scholar will not receive their schedule before the first day of school and may not receive their choice of classes.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hudson
Superintendent
