How do I get started to register?

PLEASE READ: The New Registration process has opened for the 2021-22 school year. New Registration is for preschool and kindergarten students and new/transferring students of all grades in District 64. If your student is transferring into District 64 to finish out the current 2020-21 school year follow these instructions and then, when filling out the Student Information Section, please choose to register for the current 2020-21 school year.

Step 1: Parents and guardians of new students, preschool and kindergarten should complete the online New Registration form at this link, opening “Enrollment Express.” [NOTE: Internet Explorer is an unsupported browser; if you have trouble, please switch to Chrome.] Here you will fill out basic information about yourself and the student. As part of the Student Information Section, you must choose to register for either the current 2020-21 school year or the coming school year (2021-22). (Parents of students currently attending preschool at Jefferson or receiving services at Jefferson, skip to step 3. If you have a second child entering District 64 for the first time, go to step 2 for the new student.)

Step 2: Within 3-5 days after submitting, you will receive an email with a link to the Parent Portal and the necessary information to create your account and link it to your student.

Step 3: Log into your parent portal account and click "FORMS" on the left hand side. Then click enrollment. Complete the Registration 2021-2022 forms. You may be asked to upload necessary documents, among them being proof of your residency within District 64. Acceptable documents are listed in the form or see a list of acceptable residency documents here. You must also provide a certified copy of your child's birth certificate. Scanned copies are accepted as an alternative to providing it in person at the school office or the District 64 Educational Service Center. Due to COVID-19 school buildings are closed to all but students and staff at this time.

Step 4: Your registration is not considered final until it has been reviewed by District 64 staff. You will receive a separate email confirmation once your registration has been approved. If anything is incomplete, someone from the District will contact you with further information. If you have any questions or need further assistance about enrollment, please contact your school office. During the summer when school is not in session, you can call the District office at 847-318-4300.

Fees/Payment: Registration fee payments will be collected through MySchoolBucks. Within 24 hours of completing registration you will receive notification from MySchoolBucks that your student fee payment invoice is ready. To pay fees, please login to your Powerschool Parent Portal Account. On the left hand side of the first page after login you will see a MySchoolBucks link. Please go to this link to pay your student fees. Fees are due by October 1, 2021.
