The School District of Lee County has announced that students entering the district in August 2025 can enroll and re-enroll beginning Tuesday, Oct. 29. 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., Fort Myers, FL. Appointment is required please call 239-461-6100.

• Social Security Card (optional)

• Custody documents (if applicable)

• Proof of address

• Transcript (high school students only)

More information about enrolling and re-enrolling, FOCUS accounts and answers to some frequently asked questions are available on the District website. Parents needing further assistance can email studentenrollment@leeschools.net or make an appointment to visit the Student Enrollment Office in person through QLESS.
