Dear 8th Grade Parent:

Leon County Schools Policy 5112 requires verification of current residence of 5th grade and 8th grade students transitioning to middle school or high school. We will need primary and secondary proof of address for your student (a list of acceptable documents is provided below). Your student will not receive their Schedule Request form until this address verification has been received; this ensures that the student is given the correct forms. A student will also not receive a schedule at their new school without these proofs being provided. Two proofs of address are due to the LCS Office of Admissions by Monday, May 2, 2022.



Please email the documents to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. In the subject line, please put your student's full name and "Proof of Address for Promotion.". For example, "John Smith Proof of Address for Promotion." You will be contacted by email or phone call (please provide your phone number in the email) if something different than what is provided is needed by the Admissions office.



If you are not able to scan the documents, you can send them to the Raa Middle School front office to Ms. Sara Beha with your student. Ms. Beha will scan and send them to the LCS Admissions office for you. If you have an extenuating circumstance or have questions, please reach out to us at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.


**Please note: if you have applied for School Choice you still must prove your address for promotion by Monday, May 2, 2022.**.


Acceptable Proofs of Address Two proofs of residency:

*         Current Homestead exemption, mortgage deed, lease, rental agreement, or property tax record -AND-

*         Current utility bill, (dated within 30 days) activation notice is acceptable, Vehicle registration, Government mail (excluding a voter's registration card or Driver's license)

*         All documents must include the contact information of the property owner or rental company as well as parent/guardian name





Policy 5112 v.

STUDENT PROMOTION TO NEXT LEVEL When students are promoted to the next level, from elementary school to middle school or from middle school to high school, the parent/legal guardian must provide current proof of residence in order to obtain a schedule prior to promoting to the next level.



Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter! Raa Administration
