PLEASE NOTE:  One proof of residency is required for the purposes of enrollment, however, district policy requires two proofs in addition to your deed, lease or mortgage. 

WHAT IF I RECENTLY MOVED? If you have recently moved, we will be able to accept your Closing Statement/Settlement Agreement in place of the mortgage statement.  In place of a utility statement, we can accept an updated current bank statement with your new home address OR cable/internet statement.

WHAT IF MY LICENSE IS FROM OUT OF STATE, I AM IN THE MILITARY, HAVE A CDL OR I DO NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE? Please upload your current valid Driver's license, State Issued ID OR Passport for photo ID purposes.  If you do not not fall into any of the above listed categories, we ask that you update your PA Driver's License by visiting the PA Department of Transportation Change of Address online and complete a change of address for free.  You will need to download your Temporary Internet Card before leaving the site and take a screenshot of this document to upload to your registration.

While not required for registration, our school nurses would appreciate a copy of the six month dental check-up and yearly physical if available at the time of registration.  These documents will be due upon entry to Kindergarten.**
