Affidavit of Residence, immunizations required

Affidavit of Residence. As a reminder, parents are required to annually submit a notarized Affidavit of Residence form for each child. These forms, which are available on the school system’s web site as well as at every school, do not need to be accompanied by documents proving Fulton County residency unless they are:

New enrollees in a Fulton County school
Current students entering sixth or ninth grade, or
Students who have moved since submitting their last affidavit

In addition, students in their senior year of high school do not have to provide a form or proof of residence. Each school will have a notary available to notarize the form at no charge.

The purpose of the Affidavit of Residence is to make sure that only students who reside in Fulton County attend Fulton schools. This means that Fulton taxpayers’ money stays in Fulton County to pay for the education of those who live there -- instead of students from other counties who attend under false pretenses.

Immunization Compliance. Also, Georgia law requires students to be immunized against measles, mumps, polio, rubella, whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis A and B, haemophilus influenza and varicella. Changes in state law in 2007 now require pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and students entering sixth grade to receive additional doses of some vaccines in order to be enrolled. Students without a current immunization certificate showing that all required doses were administered will not be allowed to officially register for school and will be withdrawn.
