Students who are visiting Stoneham are not eligible to attend the Stoneham Public Schools.
Residency Requirements
The Stoneham Public Schools reserves the right to request proof of residency/occupancy when students are
initially enrolled. The types of documents requested as proof of residency/occupancy are listed on page 2.
Stoneham Public Schools also reserves the right to verify residency at the time of enrollment and during the
academic school year. Since family situations can change, the Stoneham Public Schools reserves the right to
request additional, updated information when warranted.
The Superintendent or his/her designee may initiate an investigation in conjunction with the School Resource
Officer, including, but not limited to, a home visit to verify residency. If a student is found not to be actually
residing in the Town of Stoneham, the student will need to enroll in the school district of the city/town where
he/she actually resides. Factors that may trigger an investigation include, but are not limited to, the following:
changes in residency not reported immediately to the school where the student is enrolled; mail returned to
the school; incomplete or contradictory proofs of residency; or anonymous calls reporting suspected residency
violations.
Families found to be in violation of these requirements will face strict penalties, including, but not limited to,
immediate unenrollment from school; per diem charges for the education and related services accessed as a
non-resident which are based on the per pupil cost to the district; and possible legal action.
The following documents will be required as a proof of a physical address in Stoneham when new
students are registered. P. O. Boxes will not be accepted with the exception of documented court related
reasons.

In order to attend the Stoneham Public Schools, a student must actually reside in the Town of
Stoneham. The residence of a minor child is presumed to be the legal, primary residence of the
parent(s) or guardian(s) who have physical custody of the child.
In determining residency, Stoneham Public Schools reserves the right to request a variety of
documentation and to conduct an investigation into where a student actually resides. Those
families who cannot provide requested proof of residency will be referred for a residency check
by the Stoneham Police Department, School Resource Officer. Because residency can, and does,
change for students and their families during the course of the academic year, we may continue
to verify residency after the commencement of classes and we may act upon anonymous tips
received to conduct a residency verification investigation. It is also the responsibility of
parent(s)/guardian(s) to notify school personnel immediately if a change in residency occurs.
In addition to parent/guardian information, we also require information from the owner of the
property and the resident(s) in shared tenancy where a family currently resides.
Families found to be in violation of the residency guidelines will face strict penalties, including,
but not limited to, immediate unenrollment from school; per diem fines for the education and
related services accessed as a non-resident which are based on the per pupil cost to the district;
and possible legal action.
Directions:
1. Parent/Guardian Form – the Parent(s)/Guardian(s) must complete all information and have the
form notarized.
2. Shared Tenancy Form – If the family is residing with a tenant and not the property owner, the
person whose name appears on the lease agreement must complete all information and have the
form notarized.
3. Property Owner Pre‐registration Certification Form – The owner of the property must complete
all information and have the form notarized.
4. Bring the original documents, completed and notarized, to the school office where student(s)
is/are to be registered or to the Stoneham Public Schools Superintendent’s Office, 149 Franklin St.
Stoneham, MA (office inside SHS).
