Rose Tree Middle School Announces New Annual Registration Requirement

New changes to 2016 registration may affect students registered with a multiple occupancy agreement.

The Rose Tree Media School District Board of Directors has approved changes to School Board Policy #200: Enrollment of Students and School Board Policy #202: Eligibility of Nonresident Students. These changes allow for annual registrations for students registered using multiple occupancy agreements, guardianship affidavits and leases.

A student registered with a multiple occupancy agreement is living with his/her parent(s) in the home of a Rose Tree Media resident. Guardianship affidavit status applies to students living with a Rose Tree Media resident without their legal guardian and the resident is assuming all parental responsibilities.
