New students need: birth certificate, immunization record, proof of address, and photo ID. Returning students only need to bring documents showing changes from last year, such as proof that an address has changed or an updated immunization record. If a student's birth certificate is not already on file, that will also be required. You will also have the opportunity to pay yearly fees. If your enrollment is already finalized and you've received a confirmation email, you can beat the lines and pay your fees online at https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/55837 with a credit or debit card.
