Biological Parents, Adoptive Parents and Legal Guardians are able to enroll students.
According to Pennsylvania School Code 1302, a child can attend a school in the school district where his/her parent(s) / guardian(s) reside. In addition, when a resident of the school district keeps a child in his/her home, supporting the child gratis as if the child were his/her own, the child may also attend the district's schools. However, before the child can attend the district's schools, the resident must provide documentation to show dependency or guardianship or a sworn statement that:
He/she is a resident of the district,
He/she is supporting the child gratis,
He/she assumes all personal obligations for the child relative to school requirements, and
He/she intends to keep and support the child continuously and not just through the school term.
A form to verify dependency or guardianship must be completed by the resident and can be obtained in the Central Office where central registration is conducted. Upon completion, the resident is to return the form to the Superintendent. The resident will receive written notification to confirm his/her compliance with the School Code and the child's enrollment in the Fairfield Area School District. Written notice will also be sent should the documentation fail to adequately substantiate guardianship in which case the child will not be enrolled in the school district.Please feel free to contact the Superintendent's Office at Fairfield Area School District with any questions.
