 IS YOUR CHILD RETURNING TO CANNON NEXT YEAR?

Believe it or not, it is time for us to begin making plans for next year and our first effort is to start planning for student enrollment in 2019-2020!

ALL PARENTS OF CURRENT KINDERGARTEN-4th GRADE STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE THIS ENROLLMENT FORM BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd to let us know if your child will be returning to Cannon next year. If you have an incoming Kindergarten student, there is a place on this form for you to share that information with us!


Please note the following:

  • If your child currently attends Cannon through the STEM lottery or an approved transfer, you do NOT have to reapply to the lottery system this year.

  • If you have an incoming Kindergarten student and DO NOT LIVE IN THE CANNON attendance zone, you will need to complete a lottery application in order for your child to be automatically placed at Cannon. GCISD plans to make the lottery applications available in early March this year. All other available spaces in Kindergarten will be determined via the GCISD lottery. (Only Kindergarten siblings of current Kinder-4th grade STEM/transfer students are eligible for guaranteed placement @ Cannon. Incoming Kindergarten students of 5th grader Cannon STEM/transfer students must participate in the lottery for placement in Kindergarten 2019-2020.)
