PARENTAL RESIDENCY STATEMENT

To Parents/Guardians Registering Students to Attend PWUFSD: 

The Port Washington Union Free School District affirms that its primary responsibility is to provide the best possible educational opportunities for those children who are legal district residents. 

RESIDENCY: According to the State Education Department residency means domicile, which requires one’s physical presence and the intention to remain there permanently. Generally, a student’s legal school district residence is presumed to be that of their parent(s)/ legal guardian.  

PROOF OF RESIDENCY: Students will not be registered to attend PWUFSD until acceptable proof of residency is provided to the district.  

GUARDIANSHIP: When an application is made for a student in the PWUFSD by a resident of the district who is NOT the student’s natural or adopted parent or legal guardian, the non-judicial custodial guardian must have the full responsibility for the care and custody of the child to the exclusion of all other persons for the student to be considered a resident of the district. This must be documented by legal court papers if applicable. Parents may not assign guardianship for the purpose of a student(s) to attend school in the district.  

IMMUNIZATIONS: Must be submitted at time of registration. All immunizations must specify the date the immunization was administered. Your child will not be permitted to attend school without the necessary verification of immunizations. (Not applicable for Private School application.) 

FOR KINDERGARTEN ONLY:  Registration will take place in January for the following September. It is important that you complete the online registration process within the district's registration period. Doing so will help the school district have the appropriate teachers in place at each building for the new school year. Children must be five years old by December 1st in the year they will begin Kindergarten. 

WEBER MIDDLE SCHOOL: Students planning to enter Weber Middle School (grades six through eight) in September can register beginning in March. Please complete both the New Student Registration Forms and the Middle School Form. Early registration is encouraged to ensure that middle school students can attend orientation sessions and have their schedules processed along with continuing students. Students transferring from another middle school during the school year must register as soon as possible and are asked to bring their school records with them. 

SCHREIBER HIGH SCHOOL: Registration applications for students entering Schreiber High School in September will be accepted in the beginning of March.  

ALL MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MUST UPLOAD A COPY OF THEIR CURRENT TRANSCRIPT OR REPORT CARD IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS.
