RESIDENCY VERIFICATION FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR IS COMING!

Every school year, state law requires that we renew the Residency Verification form on file for every student.  Our district allows us to conduct residency verification no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the start of each school year.  This means that we can collect items with statement or due dates of 5/22/19 or later in order to verify residency for the 2019/2020 school year.

An item is required to verify residency.  Please note that PAST DUE bills are not accepted.  Only the following bills have been approved by the Chula Vista Elementary School District to verify residency:

• Mortgage
• Homeowner’s association fees statement
• New rental contract/lease agreement or current rent receipt (with landlord contact info)
• Property tax payment receipt
• Gas and electric bill
• Water bill
• Trash or sewer bill
• Cable or telephone (landline only) bill
• Pay stub
• Voter registration
• Correspondence from a government agency

Residency verification must be completed by June 5, 2019.  If residency verification is not completed by this date, we will assume that your child will not return to McMillin Elementary and we will not place him/her on a class list for the 2019/20 school year.

We will accept Residency Verification in the office from 7:30 AM – 3:45 PM, Monday through Friday.  Office hours will be extended until 6:00 PM on 5/22, 5/29, 6/3, and 6/5 for your convenience. Please feel free to call the office at (619) 397-0103 if you have any additional questions.
