Premont parents and guardians can knock out next year’s school paperwork now instead of waiting for a summer rush. Premont Independent School District opened online registration for the 2026-2027 school year on May 26, giving families in Premont and across Jim Wells County a faster way to get students set before August schedules fill up.

The district is directing families to the Ascender Parent Portal to complete registration for all students in grades PK3 through 12. Returning students are supposed to use the same Ascender Parent Portal account from last year, while new students can create a new account. That small step matters, because starting over with a new login could slow down a process the district clearly wants finished early, before the new school year turns into a scramble.

Premont ISD’s online push is built around convenience, but it also helps the district plan ahead. When registration opens months before the first bell, school leaders can get a clearer picture of enrollment, class placement, transportation needs, and campus preparation before students return. Premont ISD’s 2025-2026 school year began on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, a reminder that the calendar can move quickly once summer is underway. Getting registration handled now can spare families the headache of last-minute forms and make the start of school smoother for everyone.

For parents who run into trouble with the portal, the district gave a direct backup: call the campuses at 361-348-3915 for assistance. Premont ISD also lists the same number for questions tied to Title IX and Section 504 matters, with Mareka Austin named as the district’s coordinator for rights and grievance procedures. That human contact point is important in a small district, where one call can solve a problem that might otherwise hold up enrollment.

Premont ISD also says it uses ParentSquare for school communication, mainly through email, text, and app notifications, giving families another channel to stay connected once registration is complete. With summer meals, library activities, and other back-to-school notices already appearing on the district’s site, the message is clear: Premont is asking families to get ahead now so the opening weeks of school are less stressful later.
