Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to remind you of a critical enrollment requirement in accordance with Idaho State Law.
Idaho Code § 18-4511 and Mountain View School District Policy both require that parents or guardians provide a certified copy of their child’s birth certificate as part of the enrollment process in public schools.
Key Requirements:
All newly enrolling students must have a certified birth certificate on file within the first 30 days of enrollment.
Currently enrolled students who do not yet have a certified birth certificate on file will be granted a 30-day grace period from the start of the school year to submit the document to their school’s front office.
To obtain an official Idaho birth certificate, you may visit the Idaho Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics at the following link: https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/services-programs/birth-marriage-death-records/order-record
Please take the necessary steps now to ensure compliance with this requirement and avoid any disruption to your child’s enrollment.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact your child’s school office.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and for your continued partnership in supporting our students.
