Q |
When and where can I provide proof of residency? |
 |
A |
For the 2013/2014 school year, RETURNING FAMILIES may provide Proof of Residency and Affidavit of In District Residency electronically. Beginning Monday, June 3, 2013, electronic submissions of residency documentation will be accepted at: residency@platteco.k12.mo.us. (Note: Deadline for electronic submission is Monday, August 3, 2013.) Once the documentation submitted is reviewed and processed, parents will receive an email response with confirmation of residency verification.
NEW FAMILIES to the Platte County R-3 School District will need to provide residency verification in person (not accepted electronically). This can be done beginning Monday, June 3, 2013 through Monday, August 5, 2013 at the District Education Center, 998 Platte Falls Road, Platte City, Missouri.
In an effort to make this as convenient as possible for our parents to provide this documentation, we will offer many days and times throughout the summer. We are committed to providing quality customer service so once the days/times are decided upon, the information will be posted on our website.
