Residency Verification

 

 

Wolf Creek Elementary will request proof of residence upon enrollment of all incoming scholars. All documents must be current and in the enrolling parent's name. Wolf Creek will only accept the documents listed on the Fulton County Schools  Approved Residency List. Fulton County Schools require one current document from both, the Utility List and the Residency List (see lists in boxes below). When the approved documents cannot be supplied by the enrolling parent/guardian, residency verification will be submitted to the district's residence verification team and/or the school's social worker and your enrollment start date may be delayed.  

Beginning of the Year Process for Residency Verification:

ALL New Enrollment - upon enrollment, at least one proof of residence will need to be approved before starting school. 
Kindergarten  - upon enrollment, at least one proof of residence will need to be approved before starting school.
2nd Grade - upon returning to school, two proofs of residence will need to be approved before starting school. All documents submitted must be current within the 1st day of school's start date. 

During the Year Process for Residency Verification:

It is the parent/guardians' responsibility to immediately report an address change. To keep from any interruptions in enrollment, it is important to update households as needed and to provide residency verification when prompted. If the school becomes concerned that a student may have changed residences and no longer lives in the school’s attendance zone, the school will conduct its own due diligence, including:

• • Reviewing the student’s educational record, tardies, attendance, and/or bus riding records;
  • Contacting the student’s parent or legal guardian for more information; and/or
  • Consulting with the school’s social worker.

*If we are concerned that there has been a change in residency, your scholar will be placed on a 30-day Provisional Enrollment until the verification process is complete.
*If residence verification is requested from Wolf Creek Elementary during the school year, submission of documents must be in person with either the data clerk or school's social worker.
 

Please provide ONE PROOF from EACH LIST
Two Total Proofs Required
Documented proof of where the student primarily resides and that this dwelling is within Fulton County.
Parents/guardians cannot carry a homestead exemption on another address in another jurisdiction.
All proofs of residency must be provided with the parent(s)/ guardian(s) name and current address.

Please submit Residency Verification documents to the provided email: WolfCreekESResidency@fultonschools.org
*You will not receive a verification email if approved. If there are any questionable documents, you will be contacted by the School's Social Worker or the Residence Verification Officer.
