WAIT!! – DO I NEED TO PROVE RESIDENCY?
If your student is a kindergartner or a 5th grader this year, the answer is YES.
How to prove residency:
At Willow Grove or the elementary school your student attends now, please visit the office and present the following:
• a current monthly mortgage OR lease statement OR property tax bill
AND
• a current utility bill
On site, the administrative assistant will also provide a form for you to initial and sign.
NOTE: If you don’t prove residency for your current KDG or 5th-grade student, you will not receive a registration email/code for him or her until you do so. Questions? Call the administrative assistant at the school your student attends now.
