Moving within Webster CSD

Students attend the school assigned to their primary residence. Our School Locator Tool is available to determine which building is assigned to your new address. Proof of your residency is required for all in-district moves. The district reserves the right to investigate the validity of primary residences.
 

Steps for Moving within Webster CSD

1. Provide proof of residency to each school in which you have students. This is required when the student’s primary residence changes within the district. Proof must be current and show parent name and address.  Preferred documents:

   • Utility bill

   • Closing statement, deed, mortgage statement, or homeowner’s insurance statement

   • Lease or current renter’s insurance bill (not auto insurance)

2. Special circumstances. Provide one of the following documents if you are:

   • Sharing Housing:  If you are unable to provide proof of residency in your name, complete the Shared Housing packet with the primary resident.

   • Building a new house: If you are building a house, have your builder complete the Builder’s Certificate up to 90 days before you move.
     
     Purchasing a house: If you are purchasing a house, have your attorney write a letter, on letterhead, that includes your name, the new address, and the anticipated closing date up to 90 days before you close.
     
     Moving into temporary housing due to eviction, economic hardship, or a similar reason: Please contact the district registrar at wcsdschoolregistration@webstercsd.org or (585) 216-0029.

How to Request an Exemption

Exemptions require administrative approval. Submit a written request to your student’s principal. Exemptions are approved case-by-case and based on actual move dates.

• You must notify the district of changes in residence in a timely and good-faith manner.

• Your student(s) remains in good standing, demonstrated by stable grades, consistent attendance, and appropriate behavior.

• Your family provides on-time, daily transportation.
