**If you have multiple students at Westside,

you will be able to register all children on the same day.**

All Westside students must have a registering parent in attendance please, even if pre-registered in the spring or summer. This event allows us to confirm accurate parent contact information and transportation for students. Teacher assignments will also be provided.

If you have not pre-registered your student(s), we encourage you to do so over the summer. Our office is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to accept registrations. Mrs. Robin Stahl, our clerk, will be happy to assist you. All students must re-register each year. Early registration helps us develop our staffing plan and allows us to plan for the arrival of our Explorers! Thank you for your support with early registration.

The registering parent/legal guardian are required to provide two (2) forms of verification of residence at registration each year. Proof of your residence with one (1) of the following from each tier:

TIER 1

• Current driver license (F.S. 322.19(2)) requires that you update your address information on your driver's license within 10 days of moving.
• Current Purchase Contract (with expected closing date within 90 days of school) or Warranty Deed.
• Lease/Rental Agreement with your name as the renter.

TIER 2

• Current utility statement within the last 30-45 days.
• Florida Voter Registration Card.
• Florida Vehicle Registration or Title
• A utility hook-up or work order dated within 60 days.
• Medical or health card with address listed.
• Current homeowner's insurance policy or bill.
• Current automobile insurance policy or bill.
• A letter from a homeless shelter, transitional service provider or a half-way house verifying they receive mail.

For families who may be sharing housing by choice, there is a Shared Tenancy Affidavit that must be completed for the student to enroll and register in school. For students who may be living temporarily with another family, the in loco parentis forms has been updated to reflect a maximum of 30 days. The form may not be used in lieu of the district's ELO and EPO request process to gain admittance into a school outside the student's zoned school.

Questions? Call our Front Office Monday-Friday, 7:00a-3:30p, at (321) 956-5050.
