2. Both parties must present a valid driver's license, state issued identification card or passport.
3. The host must provide proof of property ownership and/or occupancy by furnishing a current gas, electric, or water bill reflecting the service address.  If the residence is an apartment or rental property, all tenant names (including school-aged children) must be on the lease.
4. The custodial parent or court-appointed legal guardian of the student must provide proof they are residing at that property by furnishing a recurring, monthly-financial obligation bill or statement (car insurance bill, cell phone bill, bank statement, DHS correspondence, or credit card statement).
5. The custodial parent or court-appointed legal guardian may also have to provide the following as requested by school district personnel:

• Proof of leaving previous address (eviction notice, final utility bill, etc).

ALL DOCUMENTATION MUST BE PROVIDED BEFORE A RESIDENT AFFIDAVIT APPLICATION CAN BE APPROVED.  NO TEMPORARY RESIDENT AFFIDAVITS ARE AVAILABLE.  RESIDENT AFFIDAVITS MUST BE RENEWED EACH SCHOOL YEAR.

Emergency Transfers

Applications for Emergency Transfers can be made any time during the year.  Emergency Transfers are dependent on both the sending and receiving school district's approval.

Note:  Mid-Del Public Schools does not accept new students on Emergency Transfers.  New students should apply during the Open Transfer period.

A student who resides in the Mid-Del Public School District but who wishes to transfer out to another district on an Emergency Transfer should begin the transfer process with the receiving district (the district that you want to attend).  Proof of residence will be required by the sending district.
