 March 24, 2015 Volume #9 March 24, 2015 Dear Mavericks, The San Dieguito Union High School District will require annual residency verification for all continuing SDUHSD students and any new students enrolling for the 2015­2016 school year, This process is a legal requirement in California, and it helps our district ensure the all available resources are spent efficiently and effectively to the benefit of SDUHSD families. Moreover, these additional steps will help provide a full and precise accounting of our student population as we review staffing for the coming years. All continuing students in grades 7­11 must submit residency documentation by March 27, 2015 in order to schedule classes for the 2015­2016 school year. Forms may be dropped off at the District Office, located at 710 Encinitas Blvd., Encinitas CA 92024 or at La Costa Canyon High School. Click ​
here ​
to access all required forms. Additionally, I want to remind families that the deadline for National Honor Society or California Scholarship Federation applications is Tuesday, March 31. If you have any additional questions regarding residency verification please email ​
