Proof of Age
Proof of age is required for all new students to the Colfax-Mingo Community School District. In Iowa, a child must be five years old on or before September 15 of the year he or she starts school in order to enroll in kindergarten. Proof of age is requested at Kindergarten Roundup and required prior to the start of school. For students in grades 1 through 12, proof is also required before your child can start attending school.
Several options are acceptable:
- A passport
- Adoption papers
- A certificate obtained from the county the child was born

Custody Verification
If custody is of other means than divorce, the Guardianship and Custodial papers must have an assignment of tuition. This is handled through the courts, so please contact your attorney for assistance.
Proof of Residency
If you are new to our district, please be prepared to provide proof of residency showing your name and district address in any of the following forms. Please provide the appropriate documentation to the Registrar prior to your student’s first day of school at Colfax-Mingo. Failure to do so may delay your student’s enrollment at Colfax-Mingo.

- Official Homeowner’s Purchase Agreement
- Current Official Lease Agreement (signed by you and your landlord with the company’s logo/letterhead)
- Current water or electric bill mailed to you at your residence
