How to Enroll Your Student in the Boise School District

Eligibility & Verification

• Proof of age, identity
  • A certified copy of the student's birth certificate or other reliable proof of a student's identity and birth date must be provided to the school. We cannot accept hospital birth certificates.
  • Contact the vital statistics department of the state where your child was born if you do not have a certified birth certificate. If your child was born in Idaho contact Health and Welfare.
  • If other reliable proof is provided, rather than a birth certificate, that proof shall be accompanied by an affidavit explaining the inability to produce a copy of the birth certificate. Other reliable proof of a student's identity and birth date may include a passport, visa or other governmental documentation setting forth a child's identity.
• Immunizations
  Idaho Immunization Law states that children of grades pre-school through 12 shall provide proof of immunization, or sign an exemption at the time of first enrollment in an Idaho school. Your child's immunizations must be on record for your child to be present at school. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to provide proof of immunizations to the school.

• Residency
  The legal residence of the student’s parent/guardian determines the student’s designated attendance area. Examples of acceptable proofs of residency: current property tax bill; current rental lease; pay stubs bearing the residential address; car registration; current utility bill; government or official correspondence to the residential address.
• Divorced parents
  Please bring a copy of any divorce decree or custody agreement pertaining to the child.
• Custodial guardians
  Please bring your "Power of Attorney" document.
