PARENTS OF KINDERGARTNERS AND 5TH GRADERS ARE REQUIRED TO RE-PROVE RESIDENCY
Parents of ALL currently enrolled kindergartners and 5th graders whose students will attend a KCSD96 school in the 2021–22 school year must prove their residency again with three specific documents.

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.

Parents may re-prove their residency via email (preferred) or at the school their student currently attends. 

SEE MORE INFO about required documents and the process to provide them to administrative assistants at Willow Grove Early Learning Center and KCSD96 elementary schools.

RECOGNIZING KCSD96 2021–22 REGISTRATION FEE CHARGES ON CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS
