Student/Family Enrollment Information
CHILD CUSTODY FORM
2008-2009 School Year
Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe environment for all students. As a result, the School District of Milton implemented the "Student/Family Enrollment Information" form with regard to Child Custody matters as part of the enrollment process beginning with the 2004-2005 school year. In keeping with the stipulations set forth by this new procedure, a signed copy of the form, along with copies of any current custody order arrangements, are required to be kept on file for each child enrolled in the district. Returning students, for whom there is already a signed copy of the form on file, have two options as part of the 20082009 registration process.
• No Changes/Modifications. On behalf of those returning students for which there are no changes in their child custody order arrangements since their last registration, no modifications in the paperwork provided at that time, and/or no need to provide any additional or updated paperwork, there is no need to respond at this time.
• Changes/Modifications in Custody Orders. On behalf of those returning students for which there are changes in their child custody order arrangements since their last registration, copies of updated paperwork will need to be submitted during the registration process. Please complete the attached form and submit the signed copy, along with copies of current custody papers at registration. (Please note if you have only your original copy of the child custody order, you will have an opportunity to make a duplicate copy for the school during registration. Please also note that the school only requires copies of those pages of the decree pertaining directly to the child's custody arrangements, along with a signature page indicating the date of the order.)

Please complete and sign a separate form for each child.
Note: A certified copy of any child custody order which has been issued with respect to the student, as well as any later court orders modifying the original custody order or arrangements, must be presented to the school district during registration. At that time district personnel will photocopy those pages of the decree pertaining to the custody order arrangements of the child, along with the signature/date page, and return the original copies of the document to you for your personal record keeping.
