Helpful tips to know before you begin the registration process:
All new students (other than PK) entering Indianola Community School District must provide the proper documentation to establish residency within the Indianola School District as required by Iowa law. The documents provided must always state the student’s current physical address. A post office box is not an acceptable address for the purpose of determining residency. If you do not know whether your residence is within the Indianola Community School District, contact the Student Information Management Analyst at 515.961.9500 X1516 or go to the Warren County Assessor site. You must provide proof of residency in order to enroll your child. A copy of one of the following documents will suffice as long as it lists the custodial parents’ current address:
Printed Verification Page from Assessor’s Web Page
Mortgage or Current Property Tax Document
Lease Agreement with Term listed
Settlement Statement or Warranty Deed from Closing on New Home
Purchase Contract with Possession/Closing Date
Current Utility Bill or Utility Deposit Receipt
Required Registration Documents:
The following documents are legal requirements that you will need to submit during the registration process. It is the parent’s responsibility to provide all of these documents before you will be sent the link to enroll your child in school.
All PK-12:
- Proof of Residency as described above (not required for Preschool)
