Proof of Residency:
Each New Family to FCCPS must provide Proof of Residency by producing evidence of a Property Deed (settlement papers) with a current utility bill or Rental Lease with a current utility bill. Utility bills may include: power, water, or gas. Please note: Phone bills are NOT accepted. The Affidavit for Residency Form can be found at this link.
If the family is living in the residence of a friend/relative, the homeowner/leaseholder must provide a notarized affidavit and his/her lease or deed. An affidavit by the student's parent stating temporary residence is also required.
Parents must notify the school when their home address changes and provide proof of their new residence. If families move out of Falls Church City, children are no longer eligible to attend Falls Church City Public Schools (FCCPS).
Physical presence of the parent in the residence of the child is required for tuition-free enrollment in FCCPS. A change in enrollment status may be necessary if a parent initially enrolls the student but leaves Falls Church City.
FCCPS may request additional information from parents of NEW students to FCCPS to substantiate residency, and if necessary, you will be contacted. Examples of acceptable documents can be found below.
Vehicle Registration Card
Property Tax Bill Statement
Utility Bill (power, water, or gas. Please note: Phone bills are NOT accepted)
Voter's Registration Card or Driver's License
Lease Statement
Mortgage Statement
If a child has no regular, fixed residence but resides within the school division in a temporary shelter, institution, or place not ordinarily used as a residence, FCCPS may accept an alternative form of address that is considered appropriate by school officials.
