Welcome to the 2025–26 school year in USD 204!
We’re excited to welcome students back to school. Please read below for important details regarding enrollment, orientation, and system updates for the upcoming year.
Returning Student Enrollment (Online)
Families of returning students can enroll online using Skyward Qmlativ, our updated student information system, starting on July 29th, 2025. The new Skyward platform makes it easier to enroll using a phone, tablet, or computer. Your login information remains unchanged with the new system. Click here for a quickstart guide on the new interface.

If you need Skyward login assistance, staff will be available at the in-person enrollment event on July 29th (more info below).
Important reminders:
Fees are due by the first day of school, but do not need to be paid to complete the enrollment forms.
All families are encouraged to complete the application for free or reduced lunch and fees.
Returning families will be required to provide a current utility bill (gas, water or electric) to verify residency. This can be uploaded into Skyward or emailed to the building registrar.
Your child's enrollment won't be finalized until residency has been verified and ALL forms are completed.
