Support Services

Registration  Made Easy

Welcome Center at NEISD provides invaluable support as refugee and asylee families enroll their children into our schools for the first time. We understand this can be an overwhelming process and our caring staff is here to guide families every step of the way, from paperwork to placement testing. We take time to explain important policies, procedures, and resources so families feel fully prepared.

Our goal is for everyone to feel welcomed, understood, and equipped to succeed during the registration process and beyond. When you arrive at Welcome Center, you can expect individualized assistance as well as a sense of belonging to the NEISD community. We look forward to embracing your family into our community and launching your child’s education journey.
