Verification and Residency

All families with returning students will be required to complete online verification. Only a legal guardian living with a student can verify that student. The link will be available in the spring in the Campus Parent portal and on the Campus Parent mobile app. 

Simply sign in, click More, then click Online Verification and Residency to complete your form. 

Are you a NEW family trying to enroll your students in Park Hill for the first time? Check out our Enroll in Park Hill page.

You will need to be prepared to verify or provide the following:

• Household information -- address and phone numbers

• Parent information -- work and cell phone numbers, email addresses

• Student information -- demographic and health/medication information

• Emergency Contact -- phone numbers

• If your student is entering eighth or 12th grade, current immunization information

• Proof of residency information:

  • A current, signed rental agreement, mortgage statement, or paid 2023 real estate tax receipt

  • A current utility bill (gas, water, electric) upon which the parent or guardian’s address is printed and dated within the last 60 days. Final or disconnect notices will not be accepted.

Proof of residency documents can be uploaded directly into the verification application if you have a digital copy. Hint: try taking a clear photo of the document with your smartphone or tablet, or many banks and utility companies offer digital versions of these documents. Click here to see examples of acceptable residency documents (PDF)

If you are not able to upload your proof of residency, you must still fill out the online verification form. You may bring in your documents once the school buildings reopen, or contact your school office for alternate delivery methods. 

Contact your student's school office staff to get signed up for Campus Parent (formerly called the Parent Portal).

If you have an account but have forgotten your username or password, you can use the "Forgot your username?" and "Forgot your password?" links on the Campus Parent sign-in page. 

You can complete online verification from a smartphone or tablet, although we recommend using a laptop or desktop for the larger screen size.

Each school will have computers available in the front office for online verification, and staff members can assist families and answer any questions. Please remember to bring any required documents with you when you visit the building.

Why is Park Hill checking every student's residency?
Missouri law requires that we only educate students who live in the Park Hill School District. Each year, all families must provide proof that their students live in the boundaries of Park Hill.

When do I turn in my documents?
You may upload your documents via the online enrollment/verification form. If you are not able to upload documents, you may bring them to your student’s school once the buildings reopen, or contact your school office for alternate delivery methods.

What if I have month-to-month or expired lease?
If your family has a lease that is month-to-month or expired, we will ask you to provide current utility bills during the school year.

How do I find digital copies of documents for uploading to the online enrollment form?
Many utility companies, mortgage banks and agencies provide downloadable digital copies of bills and forms on their websites. If you have a physical copy of a document, you can scan it or take a photo with your smartphone and upload that to the online form. Make sure images are well lit and easy to read.

What are some helpful websites?

• Evergy (formerly Kansas City Power & Light)
• Spire
• KC Water
• Platte County Tax Information

Do I have to share the financial information on the documents?
No. Feel free to hide the financial information on the documents that you present as proof of residency.

What will the district do with the documents?
All records that we keep about your family will be stored in a secure location to prevent unauthorized access.

Will I need to verify my student's residency every year?
Yes, we will verify each child's residency every year. If your family has a lease that is month-to-month or expired, we will ask you to provide current utility bills during the school year.

What if I have students at more than one school?
If you upload online, your documents will be visible to all your students’ schools. If you are bringing physical documents to a school, you may turn in all your residency forms at one building. The office will share your information with the other schools.
