In order for registration to be considered complete, you must provide a certified copy of the child's legal birth certificate.  A certified copy of the legal birth certificate must be presented at the time of registration.  Baptismal and hospital certificates are NOT acceptable.  Birth certificates for children born in Chicago and Cook County suburbs may be obtained from the County Clerk's office, 1311 Maybrook, Room 109, Maywood, Illinois 60153.  For information on fees and procedures, call (708)865-6010.  Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm.  Wednesday hours are from 8:30am to 7:00pm.

By board policy, proof of residency upon initial enrollment is required.  Pupils will not be permitted to start school until residency is established.  At least one (1) of these proofs must be provided before initial registration will be accepted-two (2) are required after thirty (30) days.

The following documents may be used:

Furth information may be required, and an investigation may be conducted by the school district to determine the residency of any student either before or after enrollment.  The principal may refuse to enroll a child in cases where sufficient proof of residency is not provided.

Warning:  Illinois law has made it a crime punishable by imprisonment and fine, to knowingly or willfully present any false information regarding the residency of a student for the purposes of enabling that student to attend on a tuition free basis or to knowingly enroll or attempt to enroll a student on a tuition free basis when the student is known to be a nonresident of the district.  The school district will seek prosecution to the full extent of the law of any person who the district believes has committed any residency related crime.  Additionally, a civil lawsuit may be initiated by the school district.

Physical and Dental Examination

Illinois State Law requires that before entering school, children have a dental examination and a complete physical with immunizations brought up to date.  Forms will be provided at the time of registration.  Please bring your child's immunization record to registration for the nurse to review.
