School registration starts this week

New students, 6th-graders required to provide proof of residency


By EXPRESS STAFF

Registration begins today in the Blaine County School District for students in grades six through 12. Elementary school students are not required to re-register unless they will be new students at the school they'll be attending.

Parents of students new to the school district are reminded that they will need to provide several documents, including birth certificates, immunization records and a proof of Blaine County residency.

The proof of residency requirement also applies to all sixth-graders enrolling at Wood River Middle School.

Proof of residency can be established with two current utility bills or a lease agreement that states that utilities are included as part of the lease agreement. One additional document is also required. It can be a valid driver's license, property tax bill, current lease agreement, notarized affidavit from a current landlord or homeowner, or an Idaho tax return. All documentation must establish a physical address in Blaine County.

Additional information is available at the district website, www.blaineschools.org.

The school district advises that parents can save themselves time at registration by using the "Skyward Family Access" process by clicking on the "Parents" tab at the district website. The process allows parents to check personal information, put money in student lunch accounts, pay registration fees and download registration forms.
