While masks are optional for all students and staff in the Wentzville School District, masks are required on all school buses per federal requirement. Any student who is not properly wearing a mask will not be permitted to ride the bus.

District staff will continue to remind students of the current masking requirement and may provide masks to students if they do not have one. District staff will also work with parents on this issue and if a student is not planning to wear a mask while on the bus, the family will need to make other arrangements.

Thank you for your understanding as we prepare for the start of the school year.

Starting with the 2021-2022 school year, our buildings will ask every current family to provide updated proof of residency to the school that serves the oldest child in the family. The documents will be collected August 1 through October 31. A list of the approved documents is provided below.

Please send your proof of residency to the email address associated with the school your oldest child attends: Residency Proof Email Addresses by Building

New enrollments will be required to provide full proof of residency documentation.

Homeowners:

Provide current utility bill (water, sewer, electric, gas) within the last 30 days with matching mailing address and service address.

Leases:

Provide current lease with all occupant names and utility bill (water, sewer, electric, gas) within the last 30 days. Utility bill mailing address and service address must match. If a lease transitions to month-to-month then provide the updated addendum. If it is a mobile home trailer and pad, then the lease for both should match. Leases should include all pages of the lease.

Residing with Someone Else:

Owner/Lessee should provide a lease, ALTA Settlement Statement, or Real Estate Tax Statement. Owner/Lessee should also provide a utility bill, valid photo ID, and notarized letter.

Parent/Guardian residing with someone else should provide a photo ID and Affidavit of Residency Form. Parent/Guardian residing with someone else should also provide official mail from a federal/state agency, current bank statement/loan statement, or utility bill.

Guardianship:

All guardianship situations and documentation will need to be updated this year and annually.

Please contact your school's secretary or registrar for further information.

As we approach the start of the 21-22 school year, required student forms, along with the Responsible Use Policy (RUP) must be completed before your child(ren) can log into district technology resources. The forms, including the RUP, can be signed online through Tyler Student 360. The portal will open on the evening of Friday, August 13. Please complete the required form(s) before the start of the school, so that your child(ren)’s access will remain enabled for the start of the school year.

The Tyler SISK12 Student 360 website can be accessed from the homepage on the district website or using the Tyler Student 360 app.

Please be aware that there is a 24-hour delay between the submission of the forms and your child's access being reactivated.

When a student is out of school for an extended period (such as for quarantine), the Expectations for Students During Extended Absences document is a helpful tool for families working to support their students during an extended absence.

Please take a moment to review updates to daily start and end times which will go into effect at the beginning of the 2021-2022 academic year.

For future access to this information, please visit the District website.
