FAQ

1)  Q  How do we know if we live in the Chatfield Senior High School attendance area?

2)  Q  We do not live in the CSH attendance area. How can we enroll at CSH?
   A  Jeffco Schools has a "choice enrollment" option which begins in January and closes August 30 for the upcoming school year (i.e. choice enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year begins in January 2021 and ended August 30, 2021). After that date, students must wait for the following school year. Details about the choice enrollment process can be found at Enrollment

   A  Initial contact must be made through Kristen Harper, Registrar at 303-982-3562, and then you can schedule a registration appointment with your child's counselor.
4)  Q  What documents do I need to register my child?
   A  1) Birth certificate, passport, legal name change documents (if name is different from the birth certificate). If the birth certificate is in a language other than English, please provide a translated and certified copy. 2) Proof of Residency - warranty deed, contract for lease/rental, residential contract for property (signed by both parties), recent utility bill (within 60 days - must be a utility tied to the property, i.e. water, gas, electric) with name of parent/guardian AND physical address of the property. 3) Unofficial transcript (10-12th and 9th after end of 1st semester for current year). Incoming 9th grade students who completed 8th grade but have not attended 9th grade classes at any school must bring their final 8th grade report card. 4) Withdrawal documentation with grades from previous school (after school year has begun). 5) Immunization Record 6) Recent copy of IEP, ILP, or 504 (if applicable). If student has been staffed out of special education within the last 3 years, documentation must be provided. 7) Legal documents - any documents provided by the courts (i.e. custody decrees from divorce proceedings, adoption papers, temporary or permanent restraining orders, temporary or permanent guardianship, etc.). If the child is living with someone other than the custodial parent, or the property owner is not the parent/guardian, please advise the Registrar in your phone call. ALL OF THE ABOVE THAT APPLY MUST BE PROVIDED AT THE ENROLLMENT APPOINTMENT - FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN YOUR CHILD'S REGISTRATION.
