* Proof of age and identity: Birth certificate, passport, or other official documentation.
* Proof of residency: Utility bills, lease agreement, or other proof you live within the school district's boundaries. This is crucial for determining which high school you attend.
* Immunization records: Proof that you've received the required vaccinations.
* Academic records: Transcripts from your previous school (middle school).
* Parental or guardian consent and signatures: This is almost always a requirement, even if you're 18. They may need to provide identification as well.
If you're under 18 and your parents or guardians are unavailable or unwilling to enroll you:
You'll need to seek assistance from a responsible adult who can act on your behalf, such as:
* A relative: An aunt, uncle, grandparent, or other family member who can legally act as your guardian.
* A social worker or case manager: If you're in the foster care system or have other circumstances affecting your family situation.
* A school counselor or administrator: They may be able to guide you through the process and connect you with necessary resources.
* Emancipation: In some jurisdictions, it is possible to become legally emancipated from your parents, which would grant you the right to enroll yourself, but this is a complex legal process.
You should contact your local school district office or the high school you wish to attend directly. They can provide you with the specific enrollment requirements and assist you in navigating the process, even if you need help involving other adults.
