BISD has transitioned to a new student information system (SIS) for 2023–24. If you completed your child’s registration in Skyward before July 12, your data was retained and transferred to the new system. However, the new SIS, Focus, will require all families to create new account for 2023–24. It is a simple three-step process!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does my student login to Focus?
Students will need to use their computer username and password to get into Focus online and the BISD Focus App.
-
Why do I have to re-register my child after registering them in May or June before the Skyward cutoff date?
Although Focus does say “Register your student”, if you registered your child(ren) in Skyward in May or June, parents/guardians are only being asked to verify that the information in Focus is correct.
There may be a few fields where parents will have to submit updated information. There will also be required forms that must be completed each year.
-
How do I get my student’s ID number?
Your child’s Student ID number is the same as their lunch number. If your student doesn't remember their lunch number, please contact your child’s campus. They need to verify your identity before releasing your child’s Student ID number to you.

If I'm interested in completing the Free and Reduced Application when I register my child for school, what do I need to do?
On the Free and Reduced Application page, there are two steps to complete:
- Use the "Click Here" link (lower left of page) which will open the Application in a new browser window. Complete the application and submit.
- Once done, return to the already open Online Registration window and click "Yes", then "Next Page" to continue. This serves as an indicator to the campuses to follow up with parents/guardians.*
* NOTE: You can also complete the Free and Reduced Application at a later time at www.birdvilleschools.net/freeandreduced
-
Why do parents/guardians of returning students have to upload proof of residency documentation?
Board policy requires proof of residency verification each year.
-
Is the returning student registered if the parent doesn't upload the required documents?
Yes, the student is registered. However, the campus may contact the parent/guardian for any records that are missing.
