All new K-12 and ECSE students 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.

A copy of one of the following documents will suffice, as long as it lists the custodial parent/guardian’s current address:
