Anyone registering a student who is not the parent of the child must provide
an Affidavit which indicates that they are the guardian or person whom
has custody and control of the child OR other proof such as a judicial
custody order or an order of guardianship. The Affidavit must describe
how total and permanent custody and control was obtained, whether
through guardianship or otherwise. The District has Parent/Guardian
Affidavits which can be utilized. Although the District typically
requires both, the Parent and Guardian Affidavits to be submitted, the
District understands that there may be some circumstances in which only
one of the Affidavits is available. In such circumstances, the District
will accept one Affidavit. Affidavit forms are available in the Central Registration Office.
