[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did the online registration on their website.  Now they tell me to bring the print out of registration in person to their office.  Any idea why they want me to bring it in?  Why can't this be e-mailed, mailed in, or faxed?  They have already received it electronically through their website.  Has anyone brought the print out in person?  It seems very unproductive just to bring it in.  They are not requiring anything else ( like proof of residency, birth cert. etc)[/quote]

You're right, PP.  This is a hassle.  I wish we could skip it as well.

From what I can tell, this has to do with DC clamping down on non-residents enrolling in DCPS and charter schools.

They want to see original documents you will be providing to prove residency.  The administrator who checks your documents will photo copy them and sign a statement attesting to the fact that the original documents were presented.

I all fairness, in this age it is easy to forge documents electronically.[/quote]

I totally understand how schools want to see the original documentation for the proof of residency, etc.  What I don't get is that they want me to print out the registration form and bring it in.  Nothing else.  And that registration form barely has our information on it - name, address, phone number, DOB.  If they want me to bring it in person, why aren't they doing the verification of DC residency at the same time?   That's the part I don't get.  What are we accomplishing by me bringing in just the registration form that contains barely anything?  Has this occurred to anyone's mind?   Did anyone bring anything else to show them?  [/quote]
