In January and February 2008, ALL current 10th grade students in the Fremont Union High School District will be required to verify District residency before registering for next year’s classes. Opportunities will be provided for families to present required ORIGINAL documents to their current school prior to the course selection process. All current 10th graders must verify residency at the school site unless otherwise notified. 

IF a student is not living within the District’s boundaries FULL-TIME, or if a student’s living arrangements do not agree with the statements provided by a parent or legal guardian, the student will NOT be allowed to attend schools in the Fremont Union High School District. 

If at any time a student’s residency is in question, the District will investigate. 

Any student who fails to complete the process by February 29, 2008 will be deemed to have moved outside District boundaries and will be disenrolled this school year.

The student’s primary residency is that of the caregiving adult, 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. The student resides in the home of the caregiving adult during periods of vacation or repose.

Residency verification for students on Caregiver Affidavits is handled ONLY at the Enrollment & Residency Office located at the District Office, 589 W.

INTERDISTRICT ATTENDANCE AGREEMENTS: 
Due to space and enrollment considerations, Fremont Union High School District limits the number of incoming interdistricts.  Students currently attending Fremont Union High School District schools on interdistrict attendance agreements must renew their agreements in order to remain in attendance with the District. Release from the resident district is required and the conditions under which the original agreement was approved must not have changed.  In addition, students must be in good academic standing, have a pattern of on-time, regular school attendance, and have demonstrated satisfactory school behavior or the transfer will not be renewed. 

SENIOR PRIVILEGE:
If a current eleventh (11th) grade student moves outside the Fremont Union High School District AFTER May 15, 2008, the student may be eligible to apply for an interdistrict transfer to remain in the District for the student’s senior year.  Conditions for continued enrollment apply.   Detailed information regarding Senior Privilege is available at the Residency and Enrollment Office.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS DOCUMENTATION:
If your address has changed and you still reside within District boundaries, you should participate in registration at your current school. If a change of school assignment is required, you will be notified by a member of the Residency staff.  

In addition to registration and residency documentation for your current residence, you will be required to document that you no longer reside at former residence by producing the following:
