Pre-enrollment is currently being held for those students who are new to the School District of Lee County for the 2026-27 school year.<\/p>\n
The advance registration is open to any incoming student who is entering kindergarten next year, moving from a private or charter school, previously enrolled students moving back into the district, or relocating to the district from another county or state.<\/p>\n
To allow students to attend schools closer to home, as well as ease transportation issues for the district, proximity plans for elementary and middle schools have been implemented. There is no proximity plan for high schools.<\/p>\n
The proximity plan compressed zones, taking a three-zone choice assignment lottery to much smaller zones. The enrollment zones range from one school to five schools to choose from for elementary school depending on residence. The middle school enrollment zones range from one school to three schools to choose from.<\/p>\n
Notification will be sent to parents enrolling or re-enrolling in January, so they can submit their School Choice Application to Student Enrollment. It will enable the district to preplace siblings, with both a common parent and common address, in the same school for the 2026-27 school year.<\/p>\n
Parents now have the ability to complete the enrollment process online through the district\u2019s FOCUS Parent Portal at www.leeschools.net<\/a>, which provides step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n Parents can email studentenrollment@leeschools.net or make an in-person appointment with the district\u2019s Student Enrollment Office at https:\/\/www.leeschools.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n To pre-register, a copy of a parent photo ID, birth certificate and health examination within 12 months prior to registration is required. A physical is required for kindergarten registration. Other forms include the DH680-Florida Certificate of Immunization, which can be obtained for free at Lee County Health Department, at 3920 Michigan Ave., Fort Myers by making an appointment at 239-461-6100. A Social Security card is optional; proof of address and custody documents are required if applicable. High school students will need transcripts.<\/p>\n
