Required Documents for 2026-2027 Registration
In order to register a new student, families must provide documentation that verifies that the family is living (not just owns property) within Central 301 boundaries. If you are building a new home, you must have closed on your home in order to register your student(s).
Specific documentation will depend on the living situation. Please refer to this Required Residency Documents (Espanol) list for what is applicable to you. Please note: The district has the authority to conduct a home visit and/or require additional documentation to verify residency.
In addition to residency documentation, parents/guardians of new students entering the district will need to provide the following:
- Valid photo ID (Driver’s License, State ID, Passport, or IL Public Aid Card)
- Child’s Birth Certificate
Please visit the Health Requirements page on the district website for information regarding health requirements for new students, as there may be items needed prior to the first day of attendance.
Once all required documentation has been received and residency has been verified, parents/guardians will receive a welcome email from their child’s school office with helpful information and remaining steps to finalize enrollment. These steps will include completing 2027 Online Registration in Skyward Family Access / Parent Portal, and also to creating a new user account in RevTrak to pay school fees. Specific details for these final steps in the registration process will be included in the email sent out by the office staff.
If you have additional questions or need help with new student enrollment, online registration or residency, you can email registration@central301.net or contact your school office.
