  1. In order to verify your child's residence, two of the following forms will be accepted: 
  • Home Ownership Title consisting of a Warranty Deed, Quit Claim Deed, or security deed
  • Current Residential (apartment or home) lease with the physical address signed by tenant and landlord
  • Current Utility Bill (power, water or gas; only one accepted - dated within the last 30 days)

If you are a divorced parent or legal guardian of the child you are enrolling, you must provide legal documentation naming you as the custodial parent or legal guardian.  This is necessary for the protection of your child.
