IT’S TIME TO TALK…
Join the parent conversation on Tues., Feb. 20, from 9–10:15 a.m. in the Community Room on the second floor of Sunset Foods, Long Grove. Meet other D96 parents and consider relevant topics of interest, parents’ concerns, and parent community questions. Need to know more? Contact [email protected] or call 847.459.4260, ext. 8022.
FOCUSING ON REGISTRATION…
Registration for the 2018–19 school year begins March 1.
If your student currently attends a KCSD96 school and will attend a KCSD96 school in the next school year, on Mar. 1, 2018, you’ll receive an email with a unique link to carry out that student’s 2018–19 registration online.
Not every returning student will be sent a registration email.
Wait… what?
You will not receive a 2018–19 registration email if you have a student who is now a kindergartner or a 5th grader and you have not gone to his or her school office with required documents since Winter Break to prove your residency.
Required documents include a current monthly mortgage or lease statement or tax bill AND a current utility bill. The administrative assistant at your child’s school will provide a form for your signature (signature must be witnessed by school staff, which is why sending forms in with your child won’t meet the requirement). Contact the administrative assistant with questions....
