Submitting current proof of residency is no longer required, UNLESS:

- You wish to remain at Gold Ridge through CHOICE or apply to attend another FCUSD school through CHOICE.
- You are residing with a family member or friend and cannot provide proof of residency in your name.
- You and the resident whose name is on the utility statement/receipt or rental/owner agreement must visit the Gold Ridge office to complete an Affidavit of Residency attesting to your living arrangement. In addition to providing proof of residency, the resident must also provide a copy of their driver’s license/state ID.
