The School District of Lee County is excited to announce that students entering the District in August 2025 can enroll and re-enroll beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, October 29, 2024. This advanced registration period is open to any incoming student who is:
- Entering Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year.
- Moving from a private or charter school to a Lee County Public School for the 2025-2026 school year.
- Previously enrolled students moving back to Lee County for the 2025-2026 school year.
- Relocating to Lee County from another county or state and will be attending a Lee County Public School for the 2025-2026 school year.
Parents enrolling and re-enrolling now will be notified in January when it is time to submit a School Choice Application to Student Enrollment. Enrolling now enables the District to preplace siblings, with both a common parent and common address, in the same school for the 2025-2026 school year.
The enrollment process is available online through the FOCUS Parent Portal, eliminating the need to visit the Student Enrollment Office in-person. Parents with children already in the District can use their existing FOCUS account to upload the necessary documents. Parents new to the District can create a FOCUS Parent Portal to complete the registration process.
The documents required to pre-register include:
- Copy of Parent photo ID
- Copy of Birth Certificate
- Health Examination (physical) - The exam must be dated within 12 months prior to registration. Physical is required for Kindergarten registration.
- DH680-Florida Certificate of Immunization - Form can be obtained free by taking immunization record to the Lee County Health Department, 3920 Michigan Ave., Ft. Myers, FL. Appointment is required please call 239-461-6100.
