KCSD96 TEXT MESSAGE OPT-IN PROCESS  Have you texted YES?
District 96 uses the School Messenger system to communicate with our parent community by email and–in some instances–also by text message and/or phone call.

If you would like to receive text messages from School District 96 when the subject and nature of the communication warrant our sending them (to advise you of a late-returning bus, for example), it’s necessary for you to opt in first.

To opt in to receive KCSD96 text messages:
Send a text message of Y or YES to this District 96 short code number: 67587.

Or, if you prefer, use your mobile phone to scan the QR code in this School Messenger FLYER (English & Spanish) and send your Y or YES reply.

To opt out of receiving KCSD96 text messages:
Reply STOP to any text message District 96 sends you.

Please be advised that standard message and data rates for text messaging may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.


ACTION NEEDED BY FEB. 14: PARENTS OF CURRENT KINDERGARTNERS AND 5TH GRADERS
Registration forms for the next school year will be emailed to parents on Mar. 3. 

In order to receive your student’s registration form for the 2020–2021 school year, you must prove residency again at the school office where your student currently attends. Bring a current monthly mortgage or lease statement or tax bill AND a current utility bill to meet this requirement. FAQs

Administrative assistants at Willow Grove and KCSD96 elementary schools will accept proof of residency and provide a required form for your signature.

Please note that the requirement to re-prove residency for a current kindergartner and 5th grader applies–even for families who have other students currently attending KCSD96 schools.
