Student Identity
Full legal name, preferred name, date of birth, gender, student ID (if issued), and proof-of-age field for verification.
A properly completed High School Enrollment Form creates a formal record that supports lawful enrollment, attendance tracking, and access to school programs. Electronic execution is valid under ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted, provided the four-part e-signature test is met: intent, consent, attribution, and retention. Accurate forms reduce eligibility disputes, ensure FERPA-protected records are started correctly, and help schools meet state reporting requirements.
Completed forms are retained in the student record under FERPA rules and applicable state retention schedules; schools may require notarized or witnessed signatures for disputed custody or residency situations.
