When a student lives with someone other than his/her parents, or when the parent/guardian(s) don't live at the same address, the individual with whom the student is living must have one of the following documents in order to enroll at their school.

  • If there is a Department of Children and Families Placement Letter (signed by a judge), an Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) staffing is also required; Contact Student Advocacy - Natasha Taylor
     
• Educational Guardianship or Parent Affidavit from Office of Student Enrollment
  
   

Please note: families are seen by appointment only at the Office of Student Enrollment. Student Enrollment does not accept applications via email.
