Transfer Students

Before starting the process, please confirm that the student lives in the HF District 233 Boundaries.

In order to register to attend Homewood Flossmoor Community High School District 233, students must live within district boundaries on a full-time permanent basis (fixed nighttime abode for the pupil). The District 233 attendance area includes the Villages of Homewood and Flossmoor and portions of Chicago Heights, Glenwood, Hazel Crest, and Olympia Fields. Please confirm that your child lives within our District's attendance area before proceeding to Step 1.

This tool will help.

Once you have confirmed that the student lives in HF's boundaries, complete the following steps.

ALL FAMILIES attending Homewood-Flossmoor High School District 233 are required to verify residency by submitting documentation. If your child has never been enrolled at HF, the parent/guardian must provide proof of residency information.

Enrollment is a “one time only” event that occurs when a student enters the school system for the first time. Parents or guardians must provide proof of residency in order to enroll their child. 

All families must enroll their student in-person at the Residency Office located in the Assistant Principal’s Office Door 1.

How to Register a New Student

When enrolling a new student, the legal parents/guardians will be asked to complete/provide necessary paperwork including: 

Bring Proof of Residency and Student Record Documentation:

• Student's original birth certificate (International students must submit both birth certificate and passport translated into English, if necessary) COPIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
• Parent/Guardian driver's license or state ID (address must reflect in-district address)
• Proof of residency: 1 document from Category I, 1 document from Category II,  2 documents from Category III (see required document checklist below)
  • ATTENTION: IF you are sharing a residence with a third party, the homeowner/leaseholder will be required to submit residency documentation as well. The person sharing the property will also have to submit a total of three documents from Category 2 and 3 showing they reside in the household.
  • ATTENTION: Students must be withdrawn from their current school before registering at Homewood-Flossmoor High School 

Required Student Record Information:

1. IIllinois State Board of Education Student Transfer Form (required if transferring from an Illinois high school) NOTE: Enrollment will not move forward without ISBE proof of withdrawal form.
   • NOTE: If your student is transferring from a private school or out of state school, and you do not have this form, a “Good Standing Form” will be faxed/emailed to the last school attended. Once the form is returned to our Registrar’s office and found that your student is leaving in “good standing”, you will move forward in the enrollment process. 
2. Withdrawal grades / grades in progress

NOTE: A sports physical does not meet the enrollment physical exam requirement, but an enrollment physical exam may meet the sports physical exam requirement.
