We are committed to ensuring that all families receive the support they need. ISD interpreters are available to assist non-English speaking families throughout the school enrollment process. You may also book an appointment directly with someone on their team.

ISD interpreters

If your child requires special education services or accommodations, our team is ready to help guide you through the necessary steps. Our Special Services team can assist with questions about IEPs (Individualized Education Programs), 504 Plans, or other support services.

ISD Special Services

The ISD serves students from birth (as young as six weeks) through age 5 in our Early Education program. The first step to enroll a student in Early Education is to reach out to them directly.

Early Education students required additional information, and they're online registration system is different than the one above. 

ISD Early Education

K-12 school enrollment is done through the online registration portal linked above. The ISD uses Eleyo for other online enrollments, including: Early Education, Kids' Safari (Before & After School and Full-Day care), Fifth-Day opportunities, and summer programs / athletic camps. Learn more about each of these things by clicking on them.

A Residency Affidavit is required when a student is living with an Independence School District resident in order to prove residency within school district boundaries. This document must be renewed annually and cannot be done at your student’s school. Instead - this is done at the annual Residency Affidavit Enrollment Event.

2025-26 School Year Residency Affidavit Enrollment Event
July 7th - July 18th, 2025
Mondays - Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with extended hours on Thursdays (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
Independence Arts & Technology (315 N Main St, Independence MO 64050)

What to DO BEFORE the event:

Please complete your student’s online registration. If you need assistance, it can be done on-site at the event with the help of an ISD Admissions specialist.

What to BRING TO the event:

You must bring these to the Residency Affidavit Enrollment Event:

1. The district resident with whom the student resides. This person must be present, with their valid photo ID.
2. Printed copy of most recent utility bill of district resident's address, dated within 30 days [gas, electric, or water (Sugar Creek)].
3. Printed copy of district resident's mortgage payment, deed of trust, housing contract -or- copy of rental or lease agreement.
4. Printed copy of parent/guardian's proof of residency (paystub, bank statement, or court documents).
5. Parent/guardian's valid legal photo ID.
6. Residency Affidavit Form English | Spanish.
You may print and complete this form ahead of time and bring it with you -or- you may complete it in person during Residency Affidavit Enrollment Event. This form will be notarized by the ISD at either location.
If you do not come to the in-person event, or your paperwork is incomplete/incorrect, you will have to schedule an Appointment with an Admissions Specialist.

These appointments begin August 18th, the first day of school. This means your student will miss learning time - we do not want this to happen! That is why it is very important that you attend the in-person Residency Affidavit Enrollment Event and bring the required paperwork.Residency Affidavit Forms
