We look forward to your student joining the District 214 schools for the first full day of classes on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. As you know, District 214 utilizes an electronic residency verification process for students. As described in Board Policy, students who attend our schools must reside within the district’s boundaries. Verifying residency annually helps us to protect district taxpayers by ensuring that resources are spent only on students who live within the D214 community.

As part of the registration process, parents/guardians of freshman students are required to present an original birth certificate. Residency must also be verified using a more efficient electronic residency verification process, which you may have already received information regarding. If residency cannot be verified electronically, you will be notified by your child’s school and need to provide the documentation listed below:

Category A (at least ONE of the following documents):

• Most recent mortgage bill/statement
• Most recent real estate tax bill
• Closing statement for the purchase of a residence
• Deed/closing document for real estate
• Signed apartment lease for my residence from the owner/lessee

AND

Category B (at least TWO of the following items):

• Driver’s license with current address
• Current utility bill (gas, water, electric or cable)
• Public Aid card
• Voter registration card
• Automobile registration - State of Illinois
• Receipt for city vehicle sticker

OR

Category C (if NONE of the items in Categories A or B are applicable, you will need to contact the main office at your school).

An Original Birth Certificate, Passport, or Visa is required to be presented.

Township High School District 214 uses an Online Registration and Fee Payment Process. Once residency verification is complete, you will be able to complete your register at home or at any location where you have Internet access. Online Registration will begin June 2nd. More information regarding the registration process will be sent at a later date.

Students attending Alternative Schools or Programs Outside the District must register and pay at their respective home school. It is imperative that all students, regardless of where they attend school, register at their home school. Timely registration is imperative to ensure all services, including transportation, are arranged in a timely manner.

This is an exciting time for your student. We will work hard to make this transition as seamless as possible as well as successful for each of the next four years!

Respectfully,

Tim Keeley

Associate Superintendent for Business Services
