To Enroll for Belmont Public School System:
Once the family is actually living at the residence, the parent or legal guardian of the student may request a letter of residency to enroll the student in the Belmont public school system. Valid identification for the parent or legal guardian must be presented.
The following elements are required in order to obtain a certified residency letter from the Town Clerk’s office:
1. Residency Verification:
A. If the family rents a home in Belmont :
A Landlord Verification Form, which must list the names of all the residents in the household, regardless of age. The landlord must sign the completed form in front of a Notary Public who then affixes the notary stamp. Blank forms are available at the Town Clerk’s office.
B. If the family purchases a home in Belmont:
Proof of deed transfer, as confirmed by the Board of Assessors.
2. An electric light bill or light order from Belmont Light Dept. with the resident’s name and effective “turn on” date shown.
3. Completed census form for the Town of Belmont at the current address:
The census must list all individuals living in the household. If renting the home, this listing must match the list of individuals submitted on the landlord letter. The census form must be signed by the adult Head of Household. The blank form is obtained and completed in the Town Clerk’s office when the resident appears to obtain the residency letter.
4. Fee
Each certified letter is $10.00 (either cash or check). The letter is addressed to a specific school.
Once all valid elements are presented, the letter takes approximately ten minutes to prepare.
