The following documents are required for enrollment:
- Driver’s license or photo ID for a parent/guardian
- Official birth certificate for the child
- Current physical and updated immunization records prior to the opening of school
- Proof of residence/domicile:
Parents or guardians must provide either a deed, lease or tax bill, and two of the following that are current for the past two months with the parent/guardian name: utility bills for the home, employment verification (payroll stubs or current employer verification on company letterhead), tax documents, other official correspondence with government agencies, medical bills, consecutive bank statements (for two months), vehicle registration, driver’s license, or insurance policy.
Families with younger children may also apply for the Head Start, Early Head Start and Virginia Preschool Initiative programs. These early-childhood programs are open for 3- and 4-year olds, infants, toddlers and pregnant women of low-income families who live in Stafford and meet federal or state income-eligibility guidelines.
Stafford’s schools welcome all students, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin or disabling condition who live within the boundaries of the county school district and meet state age and health requirements.
