Residency Verification

  • Students must register at the District 214 school within their residential boundaries. To ensure taxpayer resources are properly allocated, District 214 now conducts annual residency verification. A third-party vendor will verify addresses by cross-checking with public databases like utility companies. Most families will be verified electronically, and upon confirmation, an email will be sent to the household, eliminating the need for additional paperwork.

    • Most recent mortgage bill/statement

    Students attending alternative schools or programs outside the District are required to verify residency, register, pay fees at their respective home school main offices. Fee waivers can be applied for by completing a fee waiver and mailing or delivering it to Township High School District 214, 2121 S. Goebbert Rd., Arlington Heights, IL 60005.  It is imperative that all students, regardless of where they attend school, complete these processes at their home school. Failure to register within the appropriate timelines will result in the suspension of services, including transportation.
