Back to School at Bettye Myers Middle School
Calling all Titans
Summer vacation is almost over and we are excited to be starting another school year at Bettye Myers
Middle School! We hope that you have enjoyed your summer break with friends and family. Although
there still are a few more weeks of summer left, we have planned several events to help you prepare for
the upcoming year.
Online Registration: Online registration for the 2014 - 2015 school year will begin on July 24, 2014.
Parents and legal guardians of new and returning students must “electronically enroll” their children
through the Denton ISD Online Registration Process called InfoSnap. Please visit the DISD website
and find the online registration information under the “Parent Information” tab.
New & Returning Student Proof of Residency: Parents and guardians of students new to Denton
ISD, and returning to Denton ISD, must come to Bettye Myers to bring proof of residency documents
and your InfoSnap Verification Forms. Proof of residency will be determined with a current utility bill
dated after July 1st, 2014. Bills that indicate a cancellation of service will not be accepted. No other
forms of residential information will be permitted. Cell phone, internet, cable, and insurance statements
and/or bills sent to P.O. boxes will not be accepted. To advance through registration quickly, bring the
original copy of your proof of residency. (For questions regarding Proof of Residency, go to
www.dentonisd.org, click on the “For Parents” tab, go to “Registration Information”, and “Proof of
Residency”.
NOTE: Students living in another person’s residence must complete a notarized residency affidavit. All
residency affidavits are subject to verification by campus administration and the School Resource
Officer to eliminate errors and/or falsification of information. To keep campus numbers balanced,
students are required to attend the school in the attendance zone in which their parents reside.
Computers will be available at Bettye Myers MS, during the Registration and Schedule Pick-Up times,
for parents and guardians to complete the online registration process if not previously done. Parents and
guardians of students may also complete the online Free/Reduced Lunch enrollment and
Bus/Transportation enrollment during this time.
New and Returning Student Schedule Pick Up: Schedule pick up times are listed below. Please
arrive during the student’s assigned time. Please note the order of events listed below. Parents must
provide all required documents in each step in order to move on to the next step.
1. You will verify your proof of residency, as it is required in order to complete the registration
and schedule pick up process.
a. As previously stated, a current utility bill, after July 1st, 2014, is sufficient evidence of
residency. (New students who brought proof of residency the week prior will receive a
“Titan Ticket” that will allow them to skip this step.)
