ENROLLMENT AND ADMISSION OF RESIDENT STUDENTS

1. Residency for the purpose of enrollment in the Hooksett School District is as defined by RSA 193:12.

Parents or legal guardians enrolling new students are to complete registration information which includes the following documentation; a current immunization record, birth certificate, language survey, and emergency contact information. Parents or legal guardians will be required to provide two proofs of residency. Documents which demonstrate proof include a mortgage statement, rental/lease agreement, purchase and sales agreement or deed. In addition to the latter, a utility bill with the same address on it.
In the event residency cannot be established through the above documents, an Affidavit of Residency needs to be executed prior to enrollment.
School administrators reserve the right to request further documentation should actual residency be in question.
