Planning a Summer Move? Let LMSD Know!

Planning a Summer Move? Let LMSD Know!

If your family is moving over the summer, you must submit your address change to LMSD as soon as possible, so that we can ensure proper placement for your student(s) for the 2026-2027 school year.

What You Need to Know:

LMSD uses a secure online application for families to submit changes of address called Power School Enrollment. (Spanish version here). 

Before you begin the address change process, you’ll need two (2) proofs of residency showing your new address. Have electronic versions of those documents available. You will be prompted to upload them within the application.

Acceptable proofs of residency are:

  • A copy of a deed, real estate tax bill, or a mortgage statement
  • A copy of a fully executed lease agreement (must include all pages)
  • A current utility bill (electric, water, gas, oil, phone or cable)

o   Please note: An additional notarized affidavit must be completed if you are not the owner of the home or the lessee of the leased property. Please see Special Enrollment Considerations: Multiple Occupancy & Support Gratis for more information. You will be contacted with more details on how to complete this process.

What’s Next:

Once the Central Registration Office has received and verified your proofs of residency, the LMSD Transportation Department will be notified. If your new address is eligible for bus service, Transportation will assign your student(s) to a bus stop. Bus information will be available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal prior to the start of the school year.

Failure to notify the District of a change of address may result in a delay of school assignment or transportation information.

Best of luck with your move and thank you for following this important process.
