Registration Requirements

BIRTH CERTIFICATES

Pupils entering district schools must present a certified copy of their birth certificate as evidence of age.

State law requires that a certified copy of a child’s birth certificate (a foreign birth certificate is acceptable), or other reliable proof of the child’s identity and age (such as a passport, visa, or other government documentation) supported by a sworn statement explaining why the birth certificate is not available, be presented within thirty days of school registration.

Failure to comply with this requirement will not prevent school attendance but will be reported to the Illinois State Police for purposes of determining if the child has been reported missing.

REGISTRATION FEES

District 62 will once again collect next year's fees during registration. All of next year's fees remain unchanged.

RESIDENCY VERIFICATION

The procedure requires families to provide three (3) documents showing that they live at the address provided for enrollment. All documents must show name and address.

While online registration has been open since February, it will still be necessary for families to verify residency demonstrating that they reside within district boundaries as of the first day of school and intend to remain in the district for the entirety of the school year.

All Pre-K, Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 4th Grade and 6th Grade families will need to provide proof of residency verification every other year.

The District may investigate residency status, including through a home visit and additional documentation before allowing enrollment.

Enrollment is not complete until residency is confirmed.

RESIDENCY FOR PARENTS IN THE MILITARY

GOOD STANDING - TRANSFER STUDENTS

All children transferring into district schools must have an official transfer form indicating whether or not they are “in good standing” and whether or not their medical records are up to date.

All transfer students serving terms of suspension or expulsion from any public or private Illinois or out-of-state schools must serve the entire duration of the suspension or expulsion prior to enrollment.

HEALTH CERTIFICATE AND DENTAL AND EYE EXAMS

A health certificate, including an immunization history completed by the primary health care provider, needs to be submitted to the school office by every Pre-K, K, and 6th grade student in addition to all students who are new to the school district unless the parent provides an acceptable medical or religious objection.

Failure to produce this health certificate will result in the student being excluded from school.

Students entering K, 2, and 6 must present proof of having been examined by a licensed dentist before May 15 of the current school year.

Parents and/or guardians of students entering kindergarten or an Illinois school for the first time shall present proof before the first full day of school of the current school year that the student received an eye examination within one year prior to entry of kindergarten or the school.

MCKINNEY-VENTO (HOMELESS) STUDENTS

Each child of a McKinney-Vento (Homeless) individual and each McKinney-Vento (Homeless) youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, as provided to other children and youths, including a public pre-school education.

Students who are McKinney-Vento (Homeless) may be enrolled if the student was a resident of the District before he/she became McKinney-Vento (Homeless) or if the child’s temporary residence is located within District boundaries.

Further information regarding the educational rights of McKinney-Vento (Homeless) students may be obtained by contacting the District’s interim liaison:

FEES - CONSUMABLE MATERIALS

Each pupil in kindergarten through eighth grade is charged a consumable materials fee which is payable when registering. Additional fees for optional insurance and special middle school programs may also be collected if applicable.

The exact amount of these fees for the different grade levels and kindergarten is provided with registration materials.

WAIVING OF SCHOOL FEES

The Board of Education has adopted a policy, which permits the waiving of instructional fees for students whose parents or guardians are unable to afford them.

Students are eligible for waiving of fees under the following conditions: the student is currently receiving aid under Article IV of the Illinois Public Aid Code; the student is currently eligible for free lunches or breakfasts pursuant to 105 ILCS 125/1 et seq., or the Superintendent may evaluate if a student is eligible because one or more of the following factors is present: the student’s family has suffered a very significant loss of income due to severe illness or injury in the family, or has had unusual expenses due to fire, flood, storm damage, or other similar emergency situations.

A student is also eligible for a fee waiver if, under applicable state or federal law, the student is homeless, a migrant, in foster care, a runaway, or participating in Head Start. Applications may be obtained from the district website or building principal.
