Online registration for the 2024-2025 school year opened April 1, 2024, for all returning students. Returning student registration must be completed prior to May 12, 2024 to reserve your child's spot in their current Elementary or Middle School. For ALL new and returning completed registrations received after May 12, 2024, students will be placed on a first come, first serve basis. Some students may be overflowed to other schools within the district depending on availability.
*DeKalb High School students and middle school students will not receive their schedules until online registration is completed.
Returning students include all students that were ACTIVE at the end of last school year:
students returning to the Early Learning Development Center (ELDC) for PreKindergarten and Early Childhood
students enrolled at ELDC who will be entering Kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year
students enrolled at an elementary school (5th grade) and continuing to 6th grade at the middle schools
students enrolled at the middle schools (8th grade) and continuing to DeKalb High School
*If your student was withdrawn prior to 5/22/2024 from DeKalb School District and therefore considered INACTIVE, you must complete NEW Student Online Registration to re enroll your student in the district.
Computers are available at the Education Center, at your child’s school, and the DeKalb Public Library for registration, if needed. You can also use your student's Chromebook and log in using your family access login ID and password in Skyward. Please contact your child’s school if you need assistance with your Skyward Family Access login and password information. Assistance is also available for families needing English translation.
