VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY
Dear Staley families,
As we approach the end of the current school year, we begin preparing for the start of the next school year. To ensure we have timely and accurate information in your student’s record, we are asking all families to provide verification of residency. This can be done in advance to save time at registration and to streamline the process for those who have children in more than one school. Attached are guidelines for families regarding the residency verification process. We are requesting all residency documentation be turned in by May 31st.
Residency can be submitted through email at jennifer.long@nkcschools.org or in person in our main office.
FINALS SCHEDULE
LAPTOP COLLECTION - MAY 29
Next Wednesday, May 29th, students will be turning in their laptops and chargers for the year. If your student will be absent on this day, they need to turn in their computer as soon as possible to the tech office.
Students who are enrolled in eCampus this summer have been sent a form on their school email that parents need to sign. These eCampus summer students will need to bring this signed form, along with their mac and charger, to laptop turn-in on Wednesday so their computers can be inspected.
In order to avoid collection obligations, help encourage your student to back up their files and have their mac and charger ready for turn-in on Wednesday.
