Getting a Village Green seat is a two step process on the district page: first an online application for the family's regional zone or another choice option, then registration at the assigned school (district Student Assignment page). Documents for the application step include the birth certificate in original form, something proving the home address, a Social Security card if the family has it, custody papers where needed, the prior school's name and address, and an Individual Education Plan on file, if the child has one (district Student Assignment page). Registration then calls for a physical dated within 12 months, a must for kindergarten per the page, plus the state's DH680 immunization certificate (district Student Assignment page). Families with a sibling already at the campus, or a home within two miles of it, receive assignment preference under the district's regional model (district Student Assignment page).
