Unit 7 Registration Information

Unit 7 Registration Information for the 2020-2021 School Year

Unit Seven Schools will hold registration at individual campuses for all K-12 students on Tuesday, August 4, 12:00 - 7:00pm and on Wednesday, August 5, 8:00am - 2:00pm. Both days of registration will be at your child’s attendance center only; there will be no centralized registration this year at the Junior High facility. 

Parents and guardians of returning students will be able to register their children online. Each building has specific information about completing forms available on their school website and will share information about how to complete the registration process online and/or procedures in place to limit the number of visitors to each building at one time. 

Each school’s online registration forms will be made available on August 4.

Any new student(s) to the district must schedule an appointment with a building administrator to register their child in-person. Parents and guardians may sign up for an appointment by visiting the school website or calling the school office. Parents of Kindergarten students will also sign up to complete a Kindergarten screening when they visit to register. 

Parents or guardians who choose not to have their child attend for in-person instruction will notify individual schools at registration. Students will be provided guided remote learning for the semester. Information about guided remote learning is being developed and will be shared on July 31, 2020 so that families can make an informed decision when registering.

The first day of attendance for Unit Seven students in grades first through twelfth is Wednesday, August 19, 2020.
