Registration
Student Re-registration
The student re-registration window opens on February 25, 2026. Parents should complete a re-registration for each currently enrolled student by the end of the school year. During re-registration, parents will indicate whether their student will be withdrawing or returning for the upcoming school year.
New student registration will be closed from February 25 - March 11 to update system functionality. If your student needs to be registered while new student registration is unavailable, please contact your school.
Registering for a DoDEA School using DSIS
DoDEA Student Information System (DSIS) online registration is currently available for families registering in schools serviced by Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). DSIS online registration reduces manual forms and makes it easy for parents to register their child for school.
DoDEA parents are also required to annually re-register their student(s). Schools will notify parents when it is time to re-register their students. During this process, parents will be able to update contact information, update Sponsor’s employment status, and indicate whether their student will return for the upcoming school year.
Prekindergarten: As a condition of enrollment, all prekindergarten students are required to participate in the Student Meal Program, and sponsors are responsible for any daily costs associated with meals. (This does not apply to Sure Start, half-day prekindergarten, and preschool students receiving special education services who are not enrolled in prekindergarten.)
DoDEA recommends completing the online registration process using a desktop or laptop computer. The online registration process may not work on a mobile device.

While we hate to see you go, we would like to help make your transition as easy as possible.
- Please complete the Student Withdrawal / Records Release Form and return to the Student Services Department.
- Be sure to speak with your counselor so they can coordinate with the new school if necessary (especially with Juniors and Seniors). Give as much advance notice as possible.
When Sponsors Move Out of Eligible Quarters
- Rising seniors (current Juniors) may request continued enrollment for the next school year may be approved by the Director for Student Excellence for good cause.
- Other DoDEA students occasionally may be able to continue their education through the end of a school year even when military sponsors move out of eligible quarters. This is decided on a case-by-case basis and is requested by submitting a Continued Enrollment Request Form.
DoDEA Accelerated Withdrawal Policy
The policy therefore requires that students present verification of the date of their sponsor's departure, i.e., Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders, to school officials in order to receive consideration for full academic credit. Students who withdraw prior to the 20-day limit receive a "withdrawal" grade rather than a final grade. At the elementary school level, administrators may annotate the child's progress report to indicate the student's status.
