(1) Original Birth Certificate

(2) Parent/Guardian ID

(3) Immunization Records must be provided at registration. (If your child receives booster immunizations over the summer, take the updated information to the home school prior to the start of school.)

(4) Proof of Kettering Residency: Homeowners: Mortgage Statement or Deed; Renters: All pages of your lease agreement, signed by tenant and landlord. In addition, both homeowners and renters need to provide a current utility bill.
