Registration

• View our School Boundary Map to determine the correct school for your child.

• Click here to access the Enrollment Pre-registration Form.
• Complete and submit the form.
• Once submitted, the school will process your pre-registration, and you will receive an email with next steps:
  • “District 58 Registration Next Steps” email – sender: noreply@dg58.org

• The “District 58 Registration Next Steps” email will give you instructions for creating a PowerSchool account (if you do not already have one), and then setting up a new student account through PowerSchool.

• Log on to your PowerSchool account.
• If you have multiple children, please select the correct student from the menu on the upper left. (Please remember to complete a separate registration for each of your children.)
• In the left navigation panel, click on “Forms.”
• In the Forms menu, click on the “Enrollment” tab.
• All registration forms will appear. Click on the first form, “A: Student Information” to begin the registration process.
• Complete all registration forms and download all required supplemental documents. The registration portal will explain which documents are required.
• Your “Enrollment” homepage will show which forms are submitted and empty (“empty” includes forms that haven’t been started, as well as forms in progress).
• Please note: all new students must submit a paper certified copy of their birth certificate to the school office, either by mail or in person. (You cannot email the birth certificate.)
• Please remember to submit any other supplemental documents (i.e. health forms) either by email (to your school's front office), mail or in person.

• Illinois law requires all students to reside in the school district where they attend. District 58 contracts with Thomson Reuters CLEAR, a third party vendor, to automatically verify student address information. The vendor will use a parent’s name and address to crosscheck the information against other electronic databases, such as utility companies. This service has been safely used by many surrounding school districts to verify student residency information, including District 99.

  We anticipate the overwhelming majority of our families will be electronically verified. If your residency is electronically verified, there will be no need to submit any additional paperwork to certify that you live within the District’s boundaries.

  If the District is unable to verify your address, you will receive a letter directly from our District Office. The letter will provide details regarding the additional information you will need to provide in order for your child to start the 2022-23 school year.

• After District 58 processes your child’s registration, you will receive an email invoice from the District’s PushCoin system with all registration fees for 2022-23.
• The PushCoin email arrives approximately a week after you submit your child’s registration. 
• Fees are due by the first day of school, with the exception of the first payment for the Optional Kindergarten Enrichment and Enhancement Program, which is due May 20, 2022 (the due date was originally May 1, but it has been extended to May 20). 

• While we encourage families to use the PushCoin system to pay registration fees, families may also pay by check. If paying by check, please clearly identify the student(s) for whom the fees are being paid. Please make checks payable to “Downers Grove Grade School District 58” and send the check to your school or the District office at: 

  District 58 Office
  2300 Warrenville Road, Suite 200NE
  Downers Grove, IL 60515

Illinois law requires all students reside in the school district that they attend. In the past, District 58 required families to provide three forms of residency proofs during the registration process. New this year, District 58 will contract with Thomson Reuters CLEAR, a third party vendor, to automatically verify student address information. The vendor will use a parent’s name and address to crosscheck the information against other electronic databases, such as utility companies. This service has been safely used by many surrounding school districts to verify student residency information, including District 99.

We anticipate the overwhelming majority of our families will be electronically verified. If your residency is electronically verified, there will be no need to submit any additional paperwork to certify that you live within the District’s boundaries.

If the District is unable to verify your address, you will receive a letter directly from our District Office. The letter will provide details regarding the additional information you will need to provide in order for your child to start the 2022-23 school year.

Verifying residency is an effort to protect taxpayers and district resources by identifying non-residents attending District 58 schools. Illinois law mandates that parents demonstrate residency prior to enrollment in school and allows for periodic verification to validate compliance with the law. This new process will meet the requirements of the law while being more convenient for parents.
