Registration- Effingham, Illinois

Returning Students
Parents will register returning students for the 2023-2024 school year through the Campus Parent Portal.


New/Transfer Students for the 2023-2024 School Year
 If you are a new/transfer student to the district or are a returning student who was not enrolled in the 2022-2023 school year, you will need to fill out the New Student Registration Form, 

Pre-Registered Students (such as Kindergarten)
The following information usually pertains to new preschool or kindergarten parents that attended preschool roundup or kindergarten preview. If you have already completed pre-registration you will receive an email to set up a Campus Parent Portal account and to complete registration when it reopens August 3rd.  Please note that if you already have an existing Campus Parent Portal account because you have other students in the district, you will not receive an email to set up an account- your preregistered student should appear in your existing portal.
