GENERAL REGISTRATION TOPICS
(for Kindergarten, please scroll down) What if I can not locate a copy of my property deed? Is there another document that I can provide or how can I obtain one? If you are unable to locate a copy of your property deed you will need to contact the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds Office at the Bucks County Court House in Doylestown to obtain one. DO NOT contact your mortgage company for this document, it must be obtained through the Recorder of Deeds Office OR online through Landex.com. A current mortgage statement can be used in place of the property deed for your primary proof of residency. If I already have a student in the Pennridge School District, do I still need to provide all the registration and residency proofs? Yes, every original entry into the district must meet the same State guidelines. What if I pay my electric and/or utility bills online? How do I use these for proof(s) of residency? All household utilities are acceptable forms of proof of residency; even if you pay online you can still print an online receipt to bring with you at the time of registration. What do I do if I am in the process of buying or building a house in the Pennridge School District? Any nonresident student who wishes to register and will become a resident student within the first two (2) months of school, can be registered under our tuition waiver policy. (Policy 202) Please note: The tuition waiver policy can only be utilized if you are making settlement after the first day of school and prior to the 60th day of school. If you are making settlement prior to the first day of school, you must wait to register at that time.
