Conditional enrollment
At the discretion of District officials, a student new to the District may be enrolled conditionally with a grant deed or written statement on letterhead from the escrow or title officer, or valid rental/lease agreement and a copy of the property owner’s City license to rent/lease their property. Then, within thirty-five (35) working days of move-in, the homeowner or renter/lessee must provide three additional proofs of residency from the list shown above, all with current imprinted name and address. Failure to provide this additional documentation will be grounds for disenrollment from the District.
A student whose parents have purchased a home in Piedmont but are still in escrow can be enrolled conditionally with a written statement on letterhead from the escrow officer or title officer, stating the name of the purchasers, address; that escrow has closed on the property and that the parties are on title at the address.
Unannounced home visits by a District Residency Verification Officer may be conducted on an ongoing basis during the student’s attendance at Piedmont schools.
