Required Documents
In order to enroll in Easton Public Schools, the student’s parent or legal guardian must prove legal residence in the Town of Easton. Children whose primary residence is outside of Easton are NOT eligible to attend Easton Public Schools.
“Residency” means the domicile where a child spends the majority of time. The law is very clear that the determination for residency lies in the establishment of “domicile” – where the student resides, as determined by the establishment of where the center of domestic, social, and civic life is, and this is where one is to attend school. This standard must be the first step met before a family seeks to demonstrate the residency of the child.
All applicants must provide the following documentation to Central Administration
1.) Child’s Birth Certificate
2.) At least one document from EACH of the following columns.
