Residency process required of all students
All new and returning students will be required to provide proof of residency as the first step in the enrollment process for the 2023-24 school year. While most years, only new families need to participate in this process, residency verification for all students occurs periodically to ensure that our schools are accessed by students living within the district. The residency verification process must be completed prior to enrollment, therefore it is important to take action as soon as possible to not delay registration for the upcoming school year.
The district will be holding Residency Days in-person this month. We are also offering an online option to verify your residency, and will be providing additional information in the next few weeks. Check our webpage for details.
If you have any questions please contact the Assistant Principal's office at 847-451-2067 (East) or 847-451-3121 (West).

Inspirational Speaker Chris Singleton to speak at Leyden
Inspirational Speaker Chris Singleton will be visiting Leyden High Schools for two days in March to work with our students and will be hosting a special evening session that is open to our community on Tuesday, March 21. Chris is an inspirational speaker, former professional baseball player, entrepreneur and author who speaks on the importance of loving your neighbor.
