Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD student‑services staff told the board on Aug. 7 that 21,793 students had completed registration as of Aug. 5 for the 2025–26 school year, and the district has processed more than 3,200 transfer applications. Enrollment staff described steps taken to reduce pre‑K and transfer wait lists and to support families before and on the first day of school, Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Mister Soulek (enrollment director) told trustees the pre‑K wait list had been reduced from several hundred to fewer than 100 through targeted outreach, and he explained state rules that prioritize students who qualify for free pre‑K. He said the district is communicating regularly with families on wait lists and that transfer requests remain fluid as applications both arrive and are withdrawn.

To ease first‑day logistics, the district has established a dedicated hotline — (972) 968‑6500 — staffed beginning at 7 a.m. on Aug. 12 to answer routing, bus and schedule questions. Enrollment staff said campuses will also follow a first‑day procedure and that district staff will be deployed to campuses to assist with buses, pickup/drop‑off questions and enrollment troubleshooting.

Staff outlined several access points for families to register or get help: enrollcfb.com, the district office at Pearl Street, campus offices, and the hotline. The district also encouraged families to make sure ParentSquare contact information is current so the district can notify them of schedule changes and other time‑sensitive items on the first day.
