Residency Information and Forms

Proof of Residency - 2025-2026 School Year

Lake Worth ISD requires all families—both new and returning—to provide proof of residency each school year. For the 2025–2026 school year, proof of residency must be submitted prior to the student’s first day of school.

What is Proof of Residency?

Proof of residency is documentation that verifies a student lives within the boundaries of Lake Worth ISD. The document must include the parent or guardian’s name and match the student’s home address on file.

Acceptable documents include:

  • A current electric, gas, or water bill dated within the last 30 days (cell phone bills are not accepted)
  • A Current property tax statement
  • A Current lease or rental agreement
  • A Current deed of sale for purchase of a home

How to Submit Proof of Residency
Proof of residency may be submitted in one of the following ways:

  • Uploaded as an attachment during New or Returning Student Registration
  • Emailed directly to your campus registrar
  • Delivered in person to the campus registrar

If you have questions about what qualifies as proof of residency, please contact any LWISD campus registrar.

 Special Circumstances

The following special circumstances require additional documentation.  If you have questions about which form to use, please contact your student’s campus.

Students who reside within the boundaries of Lake Worth ISD but wish to attend an elementary campus outside of their designated attendance zone must complete and submit an Intra-District Transfer application to the campus they wish to attend. For more information or to access the application, please visit the LWISD Transfer page or contact any LWISD campus directly.

Students who reside outside the boundaries of Lake Worth ISD but wish to attend a school within the district must complete and submit an Out-of-District Transfer application to the campus they wish to attend. For more information or to access the application, please visit the LWISD Out-of-District Transfer page or contact any LWISD campus directly.

This form must be completed for a student who lives outside the district but requires before or after school care from a grandparent who lives within the Lake Worth ISD boundaries.  The form must be completed in its entirety before it will be approved.

This form must be completed for a student whose family is temporarily living with a Lake Worth ISD resident.  The form must be completed in its entirety before it will be approved.

This form, to be completed for a student living with a non-parent custodian, provides the custodian with the right to make educational decisions for the student and access to the student’s school records.

  • Unhoused or Homeless Students

For assistance with students who are unhoused or homeless, please contact the LWISD McKinney-Vento Liaison at chollie@lwisd.org . More information about homelessness is available on the LWISD McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance page.
