Proof of Residency

  • Proof of Residency

    The Hazelwood School District requires all families to provide documentation showing they live within the district's attendance area (unless otherwise legally entitled to attend). If you have questions about proof of residency, please contact your school registrar.

    Each family must submit one item from each List A and List B (both of which should be in the enrolling parent's name).

    Unless a student is exempt from the proof of residency requirement, one document from each List A and List B are required. Electronic documents are permissible if they are recent (dated within the last 30 days) and contain the information required for the district to verify proof of residence (date, name, address, applicable signatures, etc.). The district has the right to request any additional proof at any time or to employ other means to verify residency.

    Under Missouri law, misrepresenting residency is a criminal offense. If a family’s residency status is found to be inaccurately represented or changes without notification to the district, the district may act to recover the cost of services provided.
