Parent/Legal Guardian Information

Parent/Legal Guardian Signature

The district treats the following signature like a signature on a paper form.

I verify the above information to be correct, and I understand that completion of this form does not guarantee placement in a school. I further understand that I cannot register my child without appropriate address documentation and that only one application can be submitted per child.

I understand that a child admitted under false information is illegally enrolled and could result in disenrollment upon discovery. I further understand that it is my responsibility as the Parent/Legal Guardian to immediately inform the district of any changes to the information provided.

In the event my child is accepted, I hereby grant permission for school/education records to an accredited school as needed. My signature further indicates I have read the Open Enrollment Regulations and Guidelines.

I understand that if my child's attendance becomes a concern, their open enrollment may be revoked.
