Student fees are approved by the Board of Education and support the education of students in District 202. The revenue generated allows the district to continue funding programs despite reduced state and federal support. Every effort is made to balance each fee against the goals and objectives of the district.

The Registration Fee includes instructional resources, classroom materials, technology access, library services, and activity costs associated with athletics, clubs, and fine arts programs. This consolidated fee structure streamlines the billing process and reflects the combined educational and operational services provided to all students.

Additional Fees

Additional fees may be assessed throughout the school year for field trips, special programs, and other school-related activities. These may or may not qualify for waivers or reductions.

Fee balances must be paid in full each year—regardless of whether a student attends ETHS on campus or is placed off campus. Any outstanding fees from prior school years are still owed.

For a list of this year’s fees, view the Current Student Fee Amounts page.
