Address Verification Processes

Home Address Confirmation Process (HACP) is a process to verify the home address of fifth and eighth-grade students as they transition to a new school for the next school year. This ensures that our records are up-to-date and accurate during these critical transition periods Learn more.

Lease and Deed verification is a new process APS has adapted to update and maintain student records. This has been mapped out over 3 years, 2024-2027:

• Year 1 24-25: Outreach to families whose primary parents last name falls between the letters of A-F
• Year 2 25-26: Outreach to families whose primary parents last name falls between the letters of G-M
• Year 3 26-27: Outreach to families whose primary parents last name falls between the letters of N-Z

Communication from APS
Families who have been identified will sent written and digital communication with information about to process and steps to take to update their home address. This communication will start in the fall.
