RESIDENCE VERIFICATION

When a parent/family comes into the school and is unable to provide adequate proof of residency as outlined by School District Policy; the school office will contact the Student Support Services office and a home visit/verification will be requested.   The School Attendance Liaison will make a home visit. The child and guardian must be present at the time of the visit. If you have more than one student or students attending different schools, please be sure to specify that at the time of registration and the home visit.   They will provide the family with a copy of the District Office Verification of Residency form, (which is an NCR form). The family will then bring this form to the school site, where the registration process will continue.

Guardianship/ Caregiver Affidavit

California Education Code states that a student must attend school in the school district in which the parent/guardian resides unless a permit has been granted.   If there is no legal documentation of guardianship and the parents do not reside in the proximity of San Lorenzo Unified School District, an Affidavit of Residency can be obtained from the Student Support Services Department.   The School Attendance Liaisons can issue the Affidavit. Guardians must prove residency and signatures must be obtained by both parent and guardian. In emergency situations, a notarized letter will be accepted.   The Affidavit will stay on file with the San Lorenzo Unified School District until the student reaches the age of 18. A copy is provided to the guardian to bring to the school office as well as a copy for their reference.   It is best to schedule an appointment prior to coming to the District Office to be sure the Child Welfare and Attendance Specialist is in the office:
