• Step 1- Verify Proof of Residency  

     

    •  Verify Proof of Residence- used for determining whether the student resides within District boundaries, to be collected upon initial enrollment and when the student withdraws from the district upon re-entry, or a change of address 

     

    •  Acceptable Documentation 
    • Utility Bill (electric, gas, water) 
    • Notarized Statement of Residence Form 

     

    • Provisional Documentation 
    • Current voter registration with address 
    • Tax records 
    • Affidavit of parent/guardian that the child seeking enrollment eats, sleep, and maintains clothing and other personal items within the district 
    • Residential Contract indicating a closing date of purchase within 30 days 

     

    *Residency is not defined by an address on a driver’s license, a signature on a lease, or the  

    address on a utility bill. There are indicators that may expedite verifying residency, but the  

    absence of such indicators is not conclusive that the applicable person is not a resident. –SAAH
