Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

Mansfield ISD welcomes you and your family to a new school year!  Before school starts in August, all MISD returning students are required to provide proof of residence (POR).

 

Families with returning students have two options:

 

• You may take your proof of residence to your student’s 2025-2026 campus office; or
• You may email your proof of residence to your student’s 2025-2026 campus at: Norwood_POR@misdmail.org
  • Email must include with your student’s first & last name and student ID number.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Each campus has their own email address, so if you have multiple students at different campuses, you will need to send a separate POR to each campus’ email.

 

Satisfactory proof of residence includes:

• Electric, Gas, or Water Bill – with May service dates or later
• Disconnection notices are not allowed
• Must show a service address

 

Newly Established Residency in last 30 days includes:

• Lease Agreement
  • The lease agreement may be acceptable if it is new (30 days or less).
  • Is used when you do not have a utility bill and the lease states bills are paid by lessor.
  • Other documentation may be requested when a utility bill is not available.
  • Lease agreements must show a beginning and ending date and the address of the property with signatures from both the lessor and lessee. 
    • Lease agreement must list the student occupants.

 

Families who have a contract on a home that will close within 45 days of the beginning of school, will need to confer with Student Services on applicable Board Policies and guidelines for enrollment. 

 

Failure to provide the necessary documentation may result in enrollment delays or withdrawal from school.
