(open September 30 - October 16, 2025)

Pre-Registration provides essential information for the high school student information system and is part of the student high school record. This is the first step to becoming a student at a District 214 high school and will also register students for the Placement Exam. It is important to pre-register now so the high schools can communicate with you regarding placement, parent nights, and registration. Please complete all the information as accurately as possible. During Pre-Registration, you will be asked to complete a quick survey to tell us more about your student.
