Enrollment for Returning Students

All District 401 students, whether new or returning, must enroll in the District each school year. The enrollment process is also known as "registration."

This process is done entirely online via PowerSchool. It involves:

  • Proof of residency
  • Payment of school fees
  • Submission of consent forms

A student is a "returning student" if he or she did attend a District 401 school during the previous school year. For the purposes of 2022-23 enrollment, a student is considered "returning" if he or she was enrolled as a District 401 student during 2021-22.

If You Are Homeless

Any homeless child shall be immediately admitted to District 401, even if the child or child's parent/guardian is unable to produce records normally required to establish residency.

District 401's liaison for homeless children is Ms. Stephanie Daly, Director for Student Services. She can be reached at dalys@epcusd401.org.

Definition of "Returning Student"

As mentioned above, a student is a "returning student" if he or she did attend a District 401 school during the previous school year, including John Mills for preschool or one of our alternative schools.

For the purposes of 2022-23 enrollment, this means a student is considered "returning" if he or she was enrolled as a District 401 student during 2021-22. All returning students must enroll again if they want to attend a District school in 2022-23.

If your student did not attend a District 401 school in 2021-22, please see the New/Transfer Students page.
