Students new to the City of Wauwatosa may be enrolled in the Wauwatosa School District upon proof of
residency. The district requires two original documents be presented. (Please see list below) To enroll your
student, bring the residency documents to the appropriate school office along with:
A. An original or copy of the child’s birth certificate or passport;
B. The child’s immunization record;
C. High school students only: recent transcript.
Please note that in a shared custody situation, the student must sleep a minimum of 50% of their time with the
parent residing in Wauwatosa in order to be considered a resident.
Important: Students are not considered registered and eligible to enroll until the residency verification process is complete.
Students who do not reside in the City of Wauwatosa may apply to attend through either the statewide Open
Enrollment program or Milwaukee Chapter 220 programs. Please see our website or call Student Services for more
information.

Wisconsin State Statute 121.77 requires that students attend school in their district of residence and school
districts charge tuition to non-resident students. The district investigates and verifies residency, assesses tuition
when appropriate and will prosecute if necessary to recover tuition.
