ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS:  Please be advised that a flyer is being distributed throughout the community regarding “Out of District Students” attending the West Jefferson Hills Schools.  Please know that the West Jefferson Hills School District educates students who reside in West Elizabeth, Jefferson Hills and Pleasant Hills Boroughs. These students may reside with their parents or legal guardians and appropriate proof of residency is required at the time of registration. The District reviews any information regarding residency issues when it is received and takes appropriate action when it discovers non residents attending District schools. Such review has resulted in the withdrawal of several students over the past several months. The documentation the District may require is determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Anyone wishing to review the “Student Residency” Policy may access the policy here.
