    • 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 and do not own the home

Troubleshooting

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 to see if the subsequent screen was opened by 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 how to do this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after I submit an application for a new or returning student?

After you submit an application, you will receive email updates as the status of the application changes. The student is not enrolled in York Suburban until your application is reviewed by the appropriate District personnel and approved. After it is approved, you will receive an email with more details about the next steps. If the application is not approved, you will receive an email about what needs to be changed in order for the it to be approved or an explanation as to why the student is not eligible to be enrolled in York Suburban.

If your application is approved over the summer, you will likely start to receive communication from the student’s school building closer to the start of the new school year. If you are transferring a student to York Suburban during the current school year, the student is typically able to start within 2-3 school days after the application is approved. The school building will contact you once an official start date has been determined.
