Helpful tips to know before you begin the registration process:

All new students (other than preschool) 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:

Small Purple CheckmarkMortgage or Current Property Tax Document

Small Purple CheckmarkLease Agreement with Term listed

Small Purple CheckmarkSettlement Statement or Warranty Deed from Closing on New Home

Small Purple CheckmarkPurchase Contract with Possession/Closing Date

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 Preschool-12:

  • Proof of Residency as described above (not required for Preschool)
  • Immunizations
  • Proof of Birth
    • Immunization records will suffice for proof of birth if they include the child’s date of birth.

The following are additional grade specific paperwork requirements:
