Du Quoin High School Registration
</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)/ Student:
Summer is quickly coming to an end and the 2008-2009 school year is rapidly approaching. I am looking forward to an exciting and challenging school year at DHS. All students must attend registration at the appropriate times and dates listed. We will only register students; parent(s)/guardian(s) may accompany students, however, the student(s) must be present. Many forms and information will be distributed during this time and all schedule changes must be made during registration week.
I encourage you to read the Student - Parent Handbook that will be handed out during registration week.
Have a safe and enjoyable remainder of your summer break, and we look forward to working with all of you this upcoming school year.

All freshmen must present a physical before they will be allowed to register. A sports physical form will not be accepted. All other students must have up-to-date immunizations on file. Students who still need shots were notified by the school nurse. Records of the immunizations by those students need to be presented at the time of registration. New students to the district must also present an official copy of their birth certificate and health records.
All students should receive a student information registration letter in the mail prior to registration. Please make sure the student information form is completely filled out and return it to the office on registration day. Free/Reduced lunch forms also need to be filled out and turned in. Lunch prices are $1.50 and $0.40 for reduced.
Students will also sign up to ride the bus if they qualify, pick up class schedules, pay book rental fees, have their school pictures taken for the yearbook(if ordering pictures, packet cost range is $10-$40, separate check) due on the day they are taken, receive a student agenda book, and a student/parent handbook.
Book rental and locker fees are $58 per student. Students in Driver Education must pay $50 at registration. Book and locker fees can be written as one check.
Students may purchase a yearbook for $40 w/o name, $43 w/name. Cost of a yearbook will be $45 if ordered after March 15. Must be written as a separate check to DHS Yearbook
Students wanting a schedule change or Co-op placement may do so during registration week.
* School Time insurance is free to all students. This insurance covers a student during the regular school day. Twenty-four hour insurance and football insurance will be available at registration. The cost of twenty-four hour and football insurance will be announced at a later date.
*Students wanting to participate in fall sports must have physicals and proof of insurance turned in before a student will be allowed to practice.
