Under Pennsylvania Act 47 of 2025, parents/guardians of students enrolled in cyber charter schools must complete an updated Charter School Enrollment Form and submit proof of residency to BOTH the cyber charter school and their school district of residence.

 

Initial deadline: March 1, 2026
Ongoing deadlines each year: November 1 and March 1

 

Acceptable residency documents include a lease or mortgage, bank statement, tax bill, vehicle registration, driver’s license/PA ID, insurance document, or official government mail (dated within three months where applicable).

 

Please submit documentation to your cyber charter school and provide a copy to Highlands School District via email to mbonnett@goldenrams.com or send to: Highlands School District, P.O. Box 288, Natrona Heights, PA 15065; Attn: Central Registration

 

Families experiencing homelessness are not subject to this requirement. This notice is being shared to ensure compliance with the new state law and avoid any disruption to enrollment or residency status.

In compliance with the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as reauthorized in 2015 by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Highlands School District is attempting to identify all children within the district that may be experiencing homelessness. Children who are experiencing homelessness may qualify for assistance with free school lunch, school supplies/materials, tutoring and transportation so that they can remain in their school of origin throughout the duration of their homeless episode. Please read this letter for more information.
