Student Information Form - The enrollment documentation shall include a student’s permanent record file with the student’s legal name as it appears on the birth certificate, or as changed by a court order and the name, address, and telephone number of the lawful custodian.

Proof of Identity - Proof of identity is required upon first enrollment of a student in the district. A parent enrolling a student in kindergarten or first grade must provide a certified copy of the birth certificate of the student, or a copy of an appropriate court order. A student enrolling in any of the grades two (2) through twelve (12) must provide a certified transcript or other pupil records or data, or a certified copy of the birth certificate of the student (preferred), or a certified copy of an appropriate court order. If proof of identity of the student is not provided within thirty (30) days after enrollment, the designee of the school board shall immediately give written notice thereof to the appropriate law enforcement agency, which will conduct an investigation to determine the identity of the student.

NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS

Non-resident students are those who do not meet the definition of a resident student. Only nonresident students who are children of district employees, those who are in the process of moving into the district, and those who have completed their junior year as a district resident may be admitted to the extent that staff, facilities, equipment and supplies are available. (Criteria for admission: academic standing, attendance, and disciplinary record). Applications for nonresident student enrollment must be submitted annually. A non-resident student who has been suspended or expelled from another district will not be admitted to the district unless approved by the board. Students whose parents are in the process of moving into or out of the district may enroll temporarily as non-residents by completing the required form and submitting appropriate documentation. This is done to help students avoid having to change schools in the middle of a semester. Information about residency requirements may be obtained from the school.
