[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order to enroll you need to show car registration +driver's license with your DC address, or a utility bill (not phone) with the residence address in your name, or the lease. I doubt you have any of these documents if you are in a temporary Airbnb. I really don't think you can enroll your child at this stage even if you want to. [/quote]

OP - I don't and I won't by the time school starts, so I am really facing a catch 22.  I guess that, technically, we are homeless. Except we are not poor, and I do not want to reap benefits that are put in place for kids who need them, [b]but I also do not want to get in trouble for having an unenrolled 6 year old[/b], nor do I want him to miss the first days, zoom or in person.  The inbound school for the AirBnB is great, but we can't afford to buy in bounds here and the commute may not be the best (we are WFH now).  Additionally, I have a younger child, who I would not want to risk being unable to enroll in Kindergarten in the same school as her brother next year.[/quote]

Since you are not a resident-  you will not get in trouble.   Do not worry about that.   If all the things above are a priority for you, find a permanent place to live.   You need a lease. [/quote]

We did start paying DC taxes but the pay stub address is our work address.  So I do have one document that meets the primary list of residency requirement.[/quote]
