This policy has resulted in significant savings on staffing and portable costs by placing newly arrived students in schools where space allows, rather than by adding staff to neighbourhood schools. The district form, Notice of Late Return, available from the school, may be used for this purpose. The parent or legal guardian must personally attend when registering a student and present proof of Richmond residency, an official birth certificate for the student, applicable immigration and citizenship papers and, if available, the last report card.
Original documentation is required.
