Students may attend Riverwood if they:

• Live with a parent or guardian within the Riverwood attendance zone (See map...)
• Have applied and been accepted under the Charter (Refer to this document...)

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
The following documents and information are needed for new students (i.e. all students not currently attending Ridgeview Middle School):

1.  VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY: Two documents indicating residence in the attendance zone must be provided.  A parent's Drivers License is NOT considered proof of residency.  Appropriate records for verification of residency must include any two of the following:

• Copy of home mortgage payment book
• Current utility bill (gas, electric, or water)
• Apartment lease showing name of legal guardian
• Homeowner's insurance registration/card
• Current Paycheck stub
• Current Bank statement
• Copy of sales contract
• Receipt to have utilities connected
• Affidavit of Residency with notarized signatures of the permanent resident and parent or guardian.  The proof of residency documents should bear the name of the person signing as the permanent resident of the dwelling or apartment.

2.  ACADEMIC RECORDS: Name, address, and telephone number of previous school.  Bring most recent report card, withdrawal form from previous school and/or transcripts, discipline record and attendance record. These are essential.

THE REGISTRATION PROCESS

Students living in the Riverwood attendance area and currently attending Ridgeview Middle School: These students are automatically enrolled at Riverwood. During the 2nd semester of the student's 8th grade year, the Riverwood counselors will visit Ridgeview and meet with each 8th grade student to assist in course selection. In order for a Ridgeview 8th grader to take Magnet courses and/or be eligible for consideration in the International Baccalaureate program at the end of 10th grade, that student must apply for and be accepted into the International Studies Program.

Students living within Riverwood's attendance area and currently attending a private school: The parent/guardian should schedule an appointment with Riverwood's Counseling Center to enroll their student and to select courses. If the student wants to take Magnet courses and/or be eligible for consideration in the International Baccalaureate program at the end of 10th grade, they must apply for and be accepted into the International Studies Program. We recommend that you receive acceptance into this program prior to scheduling a counseling appointment.

Students living within the Fulton County School district but not within the boundaries of Riverwood's attendance zone: Students seeking admission to Riverwood through the Charter must be accepted to the International Studies Magnet before they can enroll. Once accepted, the parent/guardian should schedule an appointment with Riverwood's Counseling Center to enroll the student and to select courses. This procedure is the same whether the student is currently attending a Fulton County school, a private school, or has moved into the Fulton County School district but not Riverwood's attendance area.
