Enrollment of Students Based on Residency File JF-E-3
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.
| COLUMN A | COLUMN B | COLUMN C |
| Must be showing an Easton current address Valid driver’s license Valid Massachusetts photo identification card Valid Passport, dated within the past year If license/ID does not show current address, go online to: www.massdot.state.ma.us/rmv and click on Change of Address.

Please note that utility companies provide online access to download your bills/statements. |
Any applicant for the Eason Public Schools who cannot produce the documentation outlined above must ask the owner of the property where the applicant lives to complete a legal affidavit.
If a family is sharing housing with an individual or family, the owner must (1) appear at Central Registration along with the applicant to complete and sign an affidavit OR (2) return the Residency Affidavit with notarized signatures.
In addition, the owner must provide a copy of their mortgage statement, deed, or real estate tax bill.
