Student Registration

For registration, parents and guardians MUST provide the following documentation. Until these materials are received, the District cannot finalize your student's registration. Documents can be scanned using an app (such as CamScanner) or a traditional scanner connected to a computer. We recommend you scan and save each document electronically prior to starting the application.

Proof of Residency - Two documents will be required as proof of residency, one from each of the following sections:

Section 1

• A current lease listing the names of the minor occupants, among other basic requirements
• The most recent real estate tax bill if it’s in the name of at least one of the student’s biological parents or legal guardians with whom the student lives
• If the home was purchased within the last six months, the final, signed version of the Closing Disclosure or Settlement Statement will be accepted (if it’s in the name of at least one of the student’s biological parents or legal guardians with whom the student lives, and a real estate tax bill has not yet been received)
• Completed residency affidavit if the biological parents or legal guardians with whom the student lives do not rent or own the home

Section 2

• Current PA driver's license or photo ID
• Current PA vehicle registration
• Property Tax Bill
• Current homeowner renter insurance paperwork
• Current vehicle insurance paperwork
• Current utility bill (gas, electric, water, sewer)
• Copy of a current tax return
• Current bank statement

Photo ID of the parent/guardian completing the application - If the name on the photo ID does not match the name on the child's birth certificate, please have a marriage certificate or other name change document available to upload.

Additional Items - The following items are not required to complete your student's registration, but must be submitted before the student's first day. We recommend uploading them during the registration process whenever possible.

If you enter your information and click on the button to begin a new registration, but it appears that nothing happens, follow these steps:

• Check whether the subsequent screen opens in your browser in a new, minimized window.
• Make sure your browser’s pop-up blocker is configured to allow pop-ups, or you may not be able to move through the system properly.  How to turn off the pop-up blocker is a good resource if you are unfamiliar with the process.

If you do not have the appropriate technology at home, you can complete the application and scan your documents at the following locations:

• Lee R. Glatfelter Library; 1031 Edgecomb Avenue, York, PA 17403; (717)771-4020

At some locations, you may need to provide your own USB flash drive to transfer electronic files from the scanner to the computer.

All children from the age of six through the age of 18 must comply with compulsory school attendance requirements. To meet these requirements, parents must ensure that their child between the ages of 6 and 18 is attending or participating in one of the following: a public elementary, middle, or high school; a public charter or cyber-charter school; a private licensed academic or private religious school; home tutoring by a certified teacher; or an approved program of homeschooling. 

The District works with the YWCA to provide before and after-school childcare for all elementary students ages 5-12. If you want to learn more, please complete their Inquiry Form linked below and someone from the YWCA will contact you.
