Documents to gather prior to beginning the enrollment process.

The following documents are REQUIRED. OSSU MUST have all three documents on file for your child to attend school; there are no exceptions.

1. Birth Documentation

One (1) of the following documents proving birth:

  • Certified copy of the pupil’s birth certificate

  • Doctor or hospital records accompanied by a sworn statement

  • Private insurance policy

  • Baptismal records

2. Proof of Residency*

One (1) of the following documents:

  • Rental/Lease Agreement signed within last year
  • Mortgage statement
  • Real estate tax bill from current calendar year
  • Notarized Letter of Residence Form (used if you don’t have a lease or live with friends or relatives). Include names of all persons living in the household

and…

Two (2) of the following documents/bills dated within 60 days:

  • Taxes
  • Water
  • Gas
  • Electric
  • Cable
  • Other

*The term residency means where you actually live. Residency requirements are not met merely because one owns property in the school’s town, has a business in the town, or has a post office box in the town.

3. Student’s Immunization Record from your child’s doctor: Please provide an updated copy of your child’s immunization record. You will upload the immunization record through this online registration process, and will be contacted at a later date to submit additional required student health records.

If you need assistance obtaining a copy of your child's immunization record, please contact the school nurse at the school you child will be attending.  We can assist you in accessing this record.

It is required that you submit an immunization record even if your child is not fully immunized. A school nurse will follow up with you to discuss your child's specific immunizations if needed. If your child has not received any routine childhood immunizations, please contact the school nurse for a further discussion.
