District 58’s gold-rated preschool program is open to all children who live within District 58 boundaries and who will be 3 or 4 on Sept. 1, 2023. The program serves three groups of preschoolers: tuition/community students, Preschool for All grant students, and special education students.
Grove Children’s Preschool tuition applications for the 2023-24 school year opened online at www.dg58.org/preschool on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 8 a.m. First priority preschool applications are due Wednesday, March 8.
Grove Children’s Preschool is located at Henry Puffer School and Indian Trail School (6235 Stonewall Ave.) in Downers Grove. Students attend school five days per week during either a morning or an afternoon session. Learn more about Grove Children’s Preschool at www.dg58.org/preschool.
We are so excited to educate your child throughout his/her years in District 58! Please visit www.dg58.org/kindergarten for helpful kindergarten information and contact your child’s future school to receive school-related information.
In addition, District 58 encourages incoming kindergarten students to register via the online "New Student Registration" portal in the section below. (If your incoming kindergartener currently attends Grove Children's Preschool, please follow the "Returning Student Registration" process below.)
Welcome to District 58! New student registration for the 2023-24 school year opened the week of Monday, March 13. Please follow the instructions below to register your new student!
Note: if your child currently or previously attended Grove Children’s Preschool, please follow the Returning Student Registration process below. In addition, if your child is in sixth grade and will enter Herrick or O'Neill next school year, please following the Returning Student Registration process as well.
- 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.
District 58 will continue to contract with Thomson Reuters CLEAR, a third party vendor, to automatically verify student address information. The vendor will use parent and/or guardian names and addresses to crosscheck the information against other public electronic databases, such as utility companies, DMV records, property tax records. This service has been safely used by many surrounding school districts to verify student residency information, including District 99.
In some circumstances, additional documentation will be needed:
- Families of all new students
- Families of all kindergarten students (regardless of preschool attendance or current siblings in the District)
- Families that annually lease their residence
- Families that provide an affidavit of residency
- Families whose residency is not able to be electronically verified
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 2023-24 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.
- 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 2023-24.
- The PushCoin email arrives approximately a week after you submit your child’s registration.
-
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
We look forward to having your child return to District 58 for the 2023-24 school year!
Returning student registration is open Monday, March 13-Monday, April 4. We encourage families to please submit their children's registrations as quickly as possible, as this will help District 58 make critical staffing decisions in a timely manner.
