Parents & Students

Student Withdrawal

District 3 requires written notice from the legal parent/guardian when a child is leaving one of its schools. This includes transferring to another public or private school, students moving out of District 3 boundaries, moving out of the United States, and students changing to homeschooling. This notice is required even if the change is temporary.

Withdrawal Process

If you are seeking to withdraw your child from District 3, we ask that you complete the following steps as soon as possible, as this process can take up to 10 business days, particularly during the spring and summer months:

  1. Gather the next school’s name, complete address, phone number, and fax number.  This will speed up our ability to exit your student(s) as well as transfer records.

  2. Complete the Student Withdrawal form. A separate form is needed for each student who is leaving.

  3. Contact the school office or district office and make an appointment to:

    • Submit the Student Withdrawal form

    • Receive a current report card 

    • Receive an Illinois State Transfer form (The next

      school requires this)

    • Return all technology, including chromebooks, chargers, hotspots, etc.

    • Return all library books

    • Pay any unpaid school fees
