How do families enroll a student?

Bring to the district office your proof of residency and additional registration documents.  After providing proof of residency, families will be given a personalized ‘snapcode’ that will allow access to the District’s on-line enrollment system.  For a list of documents needed for enrollment click on "Proof of Document ". 

Use the personalized ‘snapcode’ to log-on to the on-line enrollment system. Upon completion of the on-line enrollment  the Attendance and Welfare Office will verify submission.

Once the residency verification and enrollment process is complete student’s are eligible to participate in high school programming. 

How will the District retain the residency and enrollment documents?

Copies of all residency and enrollment documents will be maintained at the Attendance and Welfare Office.  The same standards of confidentiality that applies to all student records will govern the security of these documents as well.  The District has no desire to see personal information such as amount of earnings, taxes, or social security numbers.  Preferably such items should be or will be blacked-out prior to submission.

Will the District prevent students from enrolling until proof of residency is demonstrated?

Yes! All students enrolling within the District must satisfy the proof of residency verification and complete the on-line enrollment  prior to receiving their school of assignment.

How do families apply for a sibling transfer?

Sibling transfer requests are automatically granted IF the residency verification AND on-line enrollment have been completed during the PRIORITY ENROLLMENT WINDOW (10:00 AM January 7, 2013 through 11:59 PM February 15, 2013). 

How do families apply for an Intra-District Transfer?

The Intra-District Transfer request is part of the on-line enrollment.  No application is needed. Failure to complete and submit the on-line enrollment form prior to 11:59 PM on February 15, 2013, will result in automatic denial of the Intra-District Transfer request.

What if families don’t have access to a computer or the internet?

Attendance and Welfare Office will have computers available for use during our regular business hours. Attendance technicians will be available to provide additional assistance, as required.
