5.      A court order pertaining to the custody of the child, if applicable.
    Guidelines for registration, registration forms and immunization requirements are available on the district’s web site at www.ltps.org  under “Student Registration.”  This will take you to the site of the District Registrar and other links regarding registration. Registration packets will also be available at the elementary schools and the Administration Building.
