Pre-K students must be 4 years old by Sept. 1; Kindergarten students must

the power company stating that power has been connected to the residence

AND a current, signed lease/purchase agreement in the parent or legal guardian's

name).

- Copy of student's Social Security card. (Parent may elect not to

release the number by signing a waiver. At that time the school will assign

an alternative ID number to the student. However, it is suggested that the

Social Security number be used since that is the number that is used to track

testing and high school records to determine HOPE Scholarship eligibility.)

signed 120-day waiver.
