Welcome Class of 2030

We know that the transition from eighth grade to high school is both exciting and filled with many questions. More communication will be coming from the District office and the schools throughout this school year to help make the transition as smooth as possible. 

Information will be mailed and emailed to 8th grade parents/guardians around September 30th about the Intent to Enroll and Placement testing. 

High School Intent to Enroll Begins September 30

Complete High School Intent to Enroll HERE.
Open September 30 - October 16, 2025.

• Purpose: The first step in becoming a student at a District 214 high school is to complete the Intent to Enroll. The online form provides essential information for the high school student information system and is part of the student high school record. The Intent to Enroll also registers students for the Placement Exam.
  
• Information Requested: The Intent to Enroll asks for student information, household information, parent/guardian information and other state-required questions. You will also complete a quick survey that will help District 214 with placement. Please complete the information as accurately as possible.
  
• Next Steps: The final step to getting ready for high school will be to complete the High School Registration in June.
