Enrollment
Enrollment is completed at each students home school. Proof of residency, all health and immunizations records and any other pertinent school enrollment forms need to be completed prior to enrollment. Parents who need to enroll their child during the summer months (when school is not in session) can pick up necessary forms and complete the enrollment process at the District Office located at 4210 Technology Drive.
The Open Enrollment Lottery is available for parents/guardians to request their student attend a Fremont school different from their home school. Parents/guardians complete the lottery form and indicate the requested school. If space is available, lottery selection is determined by a random drawing. If accepted, the selected school becomes the students new home school, until the completion of the highest grade offered at that school. Students return to their original residence attendance area for Junior High and Senior High School. Open Enrollment Lottery forms, and additional instructions, are available at your students school site during the Spring Registration period.
Caregiver Affidavits/Declarations of Residency
Students who live with and are under the care of a family member other than the parents or legal guardian (caregiver) may enroll in the school attendance area in which the care giver lives. The caregiver must come to Pupil Services and complete a Caregiver Affidavit. The student must live full time with the caregiver to qualify for Caregiver status.
Families who live in a residence other than their home residence (i.e. living with another member of the family or living with a friend) must come to Pupil Services and complete a Declaration of Residency form.
Falsification of the Declaration of Residency or Caregiver Affidavit may result in a fine of $5,855.00.
