New Student Registration

Families new to District 203 may enroll their children by contacting the individual schools. For information on school locations, as well as phone numbers and principals' names, please click on the District 203 Overview Map and list on the School Maps page.

A Map of All District 203 Attendance Areas is also linked from that page which outlines elementary and junior high boundaries. The high school boundaries are indicated by the starred line, with the North High attendance area north of that line and the Central attendance area south of it.

You may download a list of what is needed to enroll/register students in District 203. These items include a completed  enrollment form, proof of residency form and appropriate health forms (see the Health Requirements page for a description of what is needed at various grade levels). At the time of registration, parents/guardians should provide appropriate documents and be prepared to pay school fees.

Note: enrollment of new students must take place in person at the appropriate school. No mailed forms will be accepted.

New Residency Policy Enacted

At the April 21, 2008, meeting of the Board of Education a revision to District 203's policy regarding residency was approved, effective immediately. This revision is aligned to The School Code of Illinois. Students from families moving into the District within 60 calendar days may do so, but must pay tuition. The daily rate for the 2008-2009 school year will be $53.27 per day, per child.

Tuition-paying students will not be accepted, with the exception of a student whose family plans to move into the District within 60 calendar days after the date that the student first attends school in the District. A signed sales contract or lease agreement must be presented. Tuition will be payable monthly, in advance, with the first month’s tuition being due by the first day of attendance by the student in the District and the second month’s tuition being due by the first day of the second month of attendance by the student in the District.

If the non-resident student becomes a bona fide resident in less than 60 days following the date that the student first attends school in District 203, a pro-rated reimbursement of any non-resident tuition paid to the District will be reimbursed to the parents/guardians of the student.

At the time of registration, the parents/guardians of the student must present appropriate evidence of the plans to move into the District (signed sales contract or lease agreement) and agree to immediately withdraw the student in the event that the student has not become a resident within 60 calendar days of the first day of attendance by the student in the District. The student will not be allowed to re-enroll following withdrawal until such time as the student becomes a bona fide resident of the District.
