- If you choose not to upload any of the required documents (i.e. residency proofs, health forms, etc.), please remember to submit these documents either by mail or in person. Residency proofs are due as soon as possible. Note: A new student will not be placed into a classroom until District 58 receives all residency proofs. Other forms are due by the first day of school.

We look forward to having your child return to District 58 for the 2021-22 school year! We have made some changes to the returning student registration process that we hope will make registering your returning student easier. Please carefully read the instructions below.
Returning student registration is open from Thursday, April 15 through Friday, April 30, 2021. Returning families will receive an email with registration information on April 15.
Please view the below registration information to complete your child’s registration.
- Families will register their returning students using their PowerSchool account. There are no more “snapcodes,” and all forms are directly integrated into District 58’s PowerSchool system, which should make the registration process more efficient and quick for both families and school staff!
- All students -- including all returning students -- will be required to provide three proofs of residency. Families can directly upload a photo or PDF of the proofs into the registration portal, or families may choose to bring paper copies of these proofs to the school office. Many area school districts require families to annually provide residency proofs. This practice helps District 58 be a good steward of taxpayer dollars by ensuring that all registered students live within the correct boundary area.
