When parents or guardians register their child, they will be required to show proof of age and proof of residency.
Proof of age -- the child's birth certificate or passport, or other proofs such as copies of medical records, formal religious records maintained by an entity other than the parent/guardian, etc. are acceptable.
Proof of residency -- a utility bill, lease or mortgage are acceptable.
Children are welcome to accompany parents, but they are not required to attend.
