Woodland District 50 Proof of Residency Set for August 9 and 10
Learning who your child's teacher is for the new school year, purchasing Spirit Wear and supporting the PTA are all part of this year's annual proof of residency event on August 9 and 10 at Woodland District 50.
The event for all Woodland families is held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day at Woodland Middle School, 7000 Washington St., in Gurnee. Just enter through the north or south doors of the building. There is no advantage to attending a particular day or time, but please expect longer lines on the first day.
The reason for the event is to confirm that all students attending Woodland schools are District 50 residents. All families with a child at Woodland for the 2016-2017 school year are required to prove the child lives in District 50.
Parents or guardians are asked to bring two of the following documents to prove residency:
For homeowners:
- Current mortgage bill
- Current mortgage statement
- Current gas, electric, water, cable TV or home telephone bill (not a cell phone bill)
- Voter registration card or vehicle registration (with current address listed)
- Homeowner's insurance policy
- Driver's license, Illinois state identification card or Matricula card
For leaseholders/renters
Current signed and dated lease agreement with terms listed and those residing at the residence listed on the lease and one of the following:
- Current gas, electric, water, cable TV or home telephone bill (not a cell phone bill)
- Voter registration card or vehicle registration (with current address listed)
- Renter's insurance policy
- Driver's license, Illinois state identification card or Matricula card
During the residency event, parents will be given their child(ren)'s school, class and bus information. Families will have the opportunity to pay fees, deposit funds in lunch accounts, buy spirit wear and physical education uniforms for Middle School students, obtain information about PTA including membership, learn about the Woodland Educational Foundation, obtain forms for fee waivers and free or reduced lunch applications. For students entering sixth grade, student ID pictures will be taken.
The PTA will also offer a limited number of school supply packs for purchase on a first come, first serve basis.
This is the 10th year Woodland has enhanced measures to require proof of residency.
