CANDIA SCHOOL DISTRICT
ADMISSION OF RESIDENT STUDENTS

The school district of residence of a student is defined by RSA 193:12, II.

New Resident Students

All new resident students, accompanied by parent or guardian, shall register at school before
opening day and as early as possible.

Children entering school for the first time must have proof of physical examination within the last
twelve months, immunization records, and the school must receive a copy of the child’s birth
certificate. All children enrolling into the Candia Moore School must be properly immunized
according to the current recommendation of the state public health agency and RSA 200:38 unless
exempted by RSA 141-C:20-c. The Principal or designee will meet with new children and parents
to explain school programs.

Parents or legal guardians enrolling new students are to complete registration information by
providing two proofs of residency. Documents which demonstrate proof include a mortgage
statement, rental/lease agreement, or deed. In addition, a utility bill, such as water,
electricity or cable (not cell phone), with the same address on it. In the event residency
cannot be established through the above documents, an Affidavit of Residency needs to be
executed prior to enrollment.

Updated residency affidavits must be provided to the school by the start of each school year.

School administrators reserve the right to request further documentation should actual
residency be in question.

Homeless Students

RSA 193:12 (IV) provides the definition of a homeless child and exceptions to legal residence
requirements for homeless pupils.
