Stilwell Roadmap to Registration
Information for 2022-23 Seventh Grade Families
Feb. 1, 2022
Families of incoming seventh grade students:
Welcome to Stilwell! We are excited to get the registration process started this week. Over the next few weeks, your sixth grade student will start to learn more about Stilwell Junior High and register for classes for their seventh grade year. As we begin this process, we want parents to have access to important information as well as a timeline of important dates so you are aware of what to expect in the next few weeks.
Please feel free to reach out to Sarah Cooper at coopers@wdmcs.org or 515-633-6003 with any questions you may have. We look forward to partnering with you and welcoming your student and family to Stilwell!

Attending Stilwell Next Year?
Will Attend Indian Hills
If your child will be going to Indian Hills next year, they can still register with their elementary school as all of our junior high registration information filters together for both junior high schools.
Not Sure Which Junior High
If you do not live in the boundaries of the elementary school that your child attends, and you are unsure what junior high they will be enrolled in, please reach out to our district registrar, Joy Zuber, at 515-633-5101.
Moving Out of WDMCS
If your family will be moving out of the district and your student will no longer be attending West Des Moines Community Schools, please contact the district registrar.
