Registration Letter
July 10, 2009
Dear Resident:
Welcome to Central School District # 104, as we prepare for a great
school year here are some things you can do to support our efforts.
Make sure your child’s registration is current. Remember, ALL
RETURNING AND NEW STUDENTS MUST REGISTER EACH SCHOOL YEAR. Obtain
the necessary supplies for your child’s grade. The supply list can
be found Click
Here. Provide the necessary medical forms noted at the end of
this letter.
If you didn’t register in May, registration will be held July 23rd
and July 28th from 12:00pm-8:00pm and late registration will be
held on August 6th from 9:00am-3:00pm in the Central School office.
Students enrolling in both Joseph Arthur Middle School and Central
must register at the Central School office at 309 Hartman Lane in
O’Fallon.
The first day of student attendance for the 2009-2010 school year
is August 14th. Your child must be registered before attending the
first day of school. Because all school personnel will be very busy
on the first day of school, NO STUDENTS will be registered on the
first day. Additionally, students WILL NOT be assigned homerooms
until they are registered.

Numbers will be required for all students.

Students MUST reside within the boundaries of Central School
District #104. Guardianship for the sole purpose of education will
not be accepted. Any person who knowingly or willfully presents to
any school district false information regarding residency of a
pupil for the sole purpose of enabling that pupil to attend any
school in that district without the payment of a non-resident
tuition charge shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor, punishable
by up to 30 days incarceration and/or a fine up to $1500.
