Documents Required for Enrollment of All Students

Proof Of Residency

Before any student is enrolled in the Winton Woods City School District, the student’s parent or legal guardian* must prove legal residence in the District. Families whose primary residence is outside of the School District are not eligible to attend Winton Woods City Schools.
Effective June 6, 2007; all applicants must submit at least three proofs of residency.
Documents must be pre-printed with the name and address of the student’s parent or guardian* and must be presented at the Enrollment Center at the time of registration. These documents will also be required for any change of address.

All applicants must submit at least one document  from Column A plus two documents from either Column B or C:

Birth Certificate

Verify date of birth by a certified "original" birth certificate. A passport or court order designating parentage and date of birth may also be used as an alternative to the birth certificate. A child whose birthday falls on or before September 30th is eligible to enter kindergarten, and one whose 6th birthday falls on or before September 30th and who has successfully completed an accredited kindergarten, Montessori program, or equivalency is eligible to enter 1st grade for that year, provided all other requirements are met.

Proof of Custody

Verify child custody by the birth certificate or certified copies of any child custody orders or decrees. Child custody orders or decrees must be filed with the court and signed by a judge or magistrate. Notarized agreements not filed with the court and signed by a judge or magistrate are not acceptable. Ohio law requires the parent/custodian provide the school with the most recent copy of any court action regarding custody.

Proof of student in good standing

We ask parents and students to verify their disciplinary status with their previous school by filling out a form to explain their current status in regards to suspension and expulsion. Students are not permitted to enroll in another school system if they are under any expulsion or pending expulsion.

School Records (to verify grade, class schedule, and school credits from previous school)

Elementary/Middle: Letter or current grade report.                                                                       

High School: Most recent transcript (unofficial copy may be used) must be provided.     

IEP/MFE: Placement decisions are made based on the most current review of the IEP/MFE.

Verification of individual enrolling child

Identity verification of the individual enrolling the child (driver license, passport, or State ID) is used to confirm that he/she is the person with custody and empowered to make educational decisions on the child's behalf.

Proof of immunization (exception)

Grades K-12 must show proof of current & completed immunization within 14 days of enrollment. For Pre-School registrations and Advanced registration, immunization must be provided upon enrollment. Early kindergarten registrations and registrations that take place outside of the school year are considered advanced.
Once the enrollment phase is complete, the school(s) that the student(s) will be attending will receive enrollment confirmation, homeroom/class assignments, and will contact the family with start date and transportation information.   

All required documents must be presented at the time of enrollment. We will not accept incomplete enrollments. Other needed forms are available here.
