TAKE A LOOK 


WHEN IS REGISTRATION FOR STUDENTS RETURNING FOR THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR?
If your student currently attends a D96 school and will attend a D96 school in the next school year, on March 13 you’ll be sent an email with a unique link to carry out 2017–18 registration online.


WHO NEEDS TO PROVE RESIDENCY?
Attention: Parents of all current KDG and 5th-Graders
Even those who proved residency at the start of the current school year–and even those who have other students currently attending KCSD96 schools–still need to prove residency again for current kindergartners and current 5th-graders.

A convenient time to prove residency is during parent/teacher conferences that will be held Mar. 9 and Mar. 10, if you cannot do so sooner. Prove residency at the school your student now attends.

How to prove residency:
At Willow Grove or the elementary school your 5th grader attends now, please visit the office and present the following:
• a current monthly mortgage or lease statement or property tax bill
AND
• a current utility bill
On site, the administrative assistant will also provide a form for you to initial and sign.

It’s important! If you don’t prove residency by Mar. 10 for your current KDG or 5th grader, your student’s online registration form link will not be emailed when registration opens on Mar. 13 and he/she will not be assigned a teacher for the 2017-18 school year until you do so.
