DELAYED REGISTRATION EMAILS FOR ALL RETURNING AND PREREGISTERED STUDENTS
Please note that 2020-21 registration emails–originally scheduled to be sent to parents/guardians of all returning and preregistered students on Tues., Mar. 3–were NOT sent.
The emails are delayed due to a technical issue with the vendor. We anticipate sending those emails in the week ahead. We regret any inconvenience.
Each registration email (one per KCSD96 student) will include a link and a unique “snapcode” needed for access to register your returning student for 2020–2021.
Information you provided previously will appear in your student’s online registration record. Please check that info carefully and update it if it is not accurate.
Completing and submitting online registration and making payment no later than Apr. 15, 2020, will save families $20 in registration cost per student. Fees increase after Apr. 15, 2020. Registration questions? Call 847.459.4260, ext. 8022.
