All new and returning students may be required to provide proof of residency as the first step in the enrollment process for the 2025-26 school year. While most years, only new families need to participate in this process, residency verification for all students occurs periodically to ensure that our schools are accessed by students living within the district. It is important to take action as soon as possible not to delay registration for the upcoming school year.
