Required Documentation for Registration:

In order to apply online, you should be prepared beforehand and have electronic copies of all the paperwork needed:

  • Proof of your student’s age(ex. birth certificate, passport, medical record with student’s date of birth).  Your child must be 5 by September 1, 2021.
  • Two (2) documents showing your current address.  A deed, lease, or mortgage statement is required as one proof of residency.  The following are among the other documents:
    • Current utility bill (gas, electric, cable, telephone)-
      Mortgage settlement sheet*
    • IRS Statement or other wage and tax statements e.g., W2, 1040, 1099
    • Recent vehicle registration
    • Recent property tax bill
    • Voter Registration Card showing current address
    • Letter from Social Security Office with current address
    • Letter from Public Assistance Office with current address
    • Shelter placement or residency letters are acceptable for homeless students
    • Foster care/child care and DHS letters are acceptable for registration when a student is in the care of a foster/child care agency

Note- Due to overcrowding, Meredith does not accept Residency Affidavits.  A Residency Affidavit is used when a parent/legal guardian of a student cannot provide two (2) proofs of residency in his/her name at the time of registration because his/her primary residence is owned or leased by another party and he/she/they are not receiving acceptable proofs of residency.

Please Note:  Meredith will only be accepting Kindergarten registrations through the School District of Philadelphia Online Registration system for the 22-23 school year.
