Attorney In Fact Process

Attorney In Fact: When completing an attorney in fact the parent guardian: “delegates to the attorney‐in‐fact all of my power and authority regarding the care, custody, and property of each minor child named above, including but not limited to the right to enroll the child in school, inspect and obtain copies of education records and other records concerning the child, the right to attend school activities and other functions concerning the child, and the right to give or withhold any consent or waiver with respect to school activities, medical and dental treatment, and any other activity, function or treatment that may concern the child.  This delegation shall not include the power or authority to consent to marriage or adoption of the child, the performance or inducement of an abortion on or for the child, or the termination of parental rights to the child.”

  • Both the legal resident & parent must visit the Enrollment Center to fill out the Attorney in Fact & the enrollment coordinator will notarize the document at that time.

  • AIF documents must be completed prior to the beginning of each school year, or upon enrollment, and are valid for one school year only.

  • The Bixby resident who accepts power of attorney for the children living with them must be on the school Emergency Contact list with their current contact information.

  • If AIF is determined to be false during a school year, the child will be withdrawn and will not be eligible for renewal until the next school year.

Required Documents:

  • Legal resident: Provide 2 proofs of residency, and a driver’s  license or state-issued ID or passport

  • Parent/guardian: name must be added to two utility bills (electric, gas, or water), driver's license, or the state-issued ID or passport of the parent or legal guardian.

  • If renting & all or 1 bill is included in the lease, we will accept a lease as 1 proof or for both proofs, if both are paid via the lease

Following initial approval, each year moving forward, families will seek enrollment status for the next school year in one of two ways: 

  • Families could provide proof of residence in the district to change their status from AIF to resident. 

  • Families could sign a new AIF with the legal resident and provide two utility bills showing both the homeowner’s name and the parent/guardian’s name.

Legal guardians must bring in a valid driver's license or a valid state-issued picture ID or passport. Step-parents, grandparents, friends, or other family members are not allowed to enroll students.

  • Will my child’s school records be transferred to BPS?

    • Yes, upon approved enrollment, the enrollment center will request a student's cumulative file from the previous school to be sent to their new school building after a student is enrolled

    • PLEASE NOTE: The enrollment center does not obtain your required documents for you therefore you must bring in your student's required documents, such as a birth certificate & immunization record or a completed and signed exemption form at the time of enrollment.

  • We just moved and I do not have any utility bills yet, how can I prove residency?

    • Please obtain proof of your new account directly from 2 of the utility company choices or print proof of your new account from the company’s websites; again, these all must show the service address and legal resident’s name.

    • For school enrollment, a parent or guardian shall provide one of the following:  

      • Current, up-to-date immunization records; or  

      • A completed and signed exemption form. Students who will not receive their 4/5-year-old immunizations until this spring/summer may still enroll early. But, enrollment will not be complete until updated immunizations are turned in to the Enrollment Center. If students' updated immunizations are not turned in by August 1, the student will be withdrawn and lose their "spot" in PK.
