Residency Verification

Tiffany Families,

On behalf of the Tiffany Staff, welcome to the 2020-2021 school year.  The Tiffany Office will be pushing out several important announcements in the coming weeks pertaining to distance learning and the start of the school year.

The purpose of this letter is to provide information regarding annual residency verification.  Please read the information below carefully as the process is slightly different than years past.

Please note that incoming kindergarten students do not need to provide residency verification as this was done when the child was registered.

Which Families Need to Verify Residency?

• Verification of residency is required for all returning Tiffany students
• Re-verification is not necessary for incoming kindergarten students and new enrollments who pre-registered since February 19, 2020
• Residency must be completed before your child is placed in a class.  Remember that school starts via virtual learning on August 31^st
• A verification of residency form must be submitted for each child that attends Tiffany
• If you moved to a new address in 2020, please write “new address” clearly on the verification form, so we can update your child’s record.

What is Needed to Verify Residency?

Families can provide ONE of the documents listed below.  The document can be in either or both parent’s/legal guardian’s name and must include the address where you and your child physically live.  Documents must be dated after July 1^st 2020. It can be a letter that has been mailed to your address, or a document that you download or receive electronically

• Recent paystub if it includes your name and address
• Current rental contract/lease & recent payment receipt w/ landlord contract info
• Utility bill: Gas & Elec, solar, internet, water, trash, cable tv, landline phone, property tax payment receipt (cell phone bills & bank statements are not accepted)

• Letter on apartment complex or mobile home park letterhead, signed by the landlord, stating that parent/guardian/caregiver lives there

The District does not accept documentation with PO box addresses, or that has been provided by a family member, caregiver, friend etc. unless you and your child physically stay at the address permanently.

How Do I Verify Residency?

You have two options to verify residency, in person or via email

What about Second Family Affidavits?

If a student and his/her family reside with another family and they are unable to provide a document to verify their own residency, the attached “Second Family Affidavit” form needs to be submitted, along with the “Verification of Residency” form and supporting verification document.  The form must be signed by representatives of the homeowner and parent/legal guardian.  Photo ID of the homeowner must also be provided.  Submit all forms using one of the methods above (Form attached below).

Thank you,
