Is your child in kindergarten? In 5th grade?

If your answer is yes to either question, you’re required to re-prove your residency at your student’s current school no later than Fri., Feb. 14.

The administrative assistant at the school your student currently attends will accept proof of residency and provide a required form for your signature.

Please note that the requirement to re-prove residency for a current kindergartner and 5th grader applies–even for families who have other students currently attending KCSD96 schools.
