Avoid the Need to Upload Residency Documents

Re-enrolling families may be able to verify residency using OTR residency verification process. The enrolling person must have paid taxes in DC during the previous fiscal year and have the student’s Social Security number.  Login to the system at ossedctax.com. If successful, your verification will then be available for the Welcome Center staff to confirm. 

In past years, DCPS has not required Deal to meet specific enrollment targets.  This year, all schools are expected to meet the enrollment benchmarks. 

Schools that don't meet the enrollment benchmarks will be directed to begin enrolling students from the waitlist.  Students on the waitlist do not attend one of our feeder schools (Bancroft, Hearst, Janney, Lafayette, Murch, and Shepherd). 

By enrolling students from the waitlist, there is a possibility of Deal ultimately being over-enrolled for SY 23-24.  Therefore, it is critical that our continuing/feeder school students who plan to attend Deal next year, complete the enrollment/residency verification as soon as possible. 

If you have any questions about the enrollment/residency verification process, please call the Welcome Center (202.939.2010).
