Do you actually have to show all the paperwork when you accept? [/quote]

Yes, you must show you live in bounds to register as an inbounds student and you must show you live somewhere in DC to register for out of bounds, boundary free, or charter schools.[/quote]

Yeah that is not my question. My[b] question is whether you have to show all the paperwork when you accept, [/b]or just before the first day of school. [/quote]
[b]To enroll / register [/b]- you need to show paperwork that you are a resident.

[b]To go to school [/b]- you need to show paperwork that you have the required dental / medical items complated.

Yeah but you forgot “accept.” I believe that there are some schools that will require the residency proof to accept the spot, but that doesn’t mean they all do. Some schools allow you to accept first and do the paperwork later.

FWIW I stopped turning in medical forms years ago in DCPS and nobody ever said anything. I don’t think I ever did a dental form. [/quote]

In our experience accepting a lottery spot (for a school that is routinely mentioned here as a top 5 or so), there was zero difference between accepting and enrolling. It was one and the same. And on the day they did the tour and took paperwork, they turned away people who didn’t have it and told them they needed to return with everything, and it must be done before the fast approaching deadline. As noted it probably varies wildly school to school, but it was clear as day with ours that if you would not be accepting a spot without proper residency docs and proof of age. [/quote]
