New Student Registration

The first step in new student registration is to obtain a registration packet. Parents should contact the elementary school principal’s secretary, Deann DellaPenta, by visiting Voorheesville Elementary School, 129 Maple Road, Voorheesville, NY 12186, or by calling the building’s main office at (518) 765-2382, Ext. 504. Parents may also contact Debbie Frederick in the Attendance Office by visiting the Clayton A. Bouton High School, 432 New Salem Road, Voorheesville, NY 12186, or by calling (518) 765-3314, Ext. 200.

Students are required to submit a minimum of three documents that verify they are legal residents of the Voorheesville Central School District. The following are examples of acceptable documents:

• If renter, original lease, which includes landlord’s name, address and telephone number OR if new home-owner, original contract to build or buy, which includes seller realtor and name/address of realtor

• Electric bill with current name and address

• License and car registration with current name and address

• Paycheck with current name and address

• Certificate of occupancy issued by town/village

• Automobile insurance policy with current name and address

• Credit Union account statement with current name and address

• Voter registration card with current name and address

After completing the registration packet and gathering the three residency documents, the next step is to bring this information to the child’s new school, along with the child’s birth certificate with seal from court (not hospital) or certified copy, health and immunization records, last report card or transfer notice, and any standardized test scores.

In some cases proof of guardianship may also be required. The following are examples of acceptable proof:

• Court papers, if granting custody

• Two sets of documents, in assuming custody of a child - one document by parent transferring custody and one by person assuming custody

• STAC Form, in case of homelessness

• HUD Section 8 Housing
