Registration

Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is open!

Registration for returning students entering grades 1-8, entering kindergarten if they attended First Steps Preschool, and returning to First Steps is completed through the Parent Portal.

Families new to the District with a child ready to enter grades 1st - 8th or a new kindergarten student?

  • Confirm residency within District 63 boundaries using our School Locator.
    • Students attending District 63 schools must legally reside within the District’s boundaries. It is a criminal offense to enroll a non-resident student, except as allowed by law. Public school districts are supported by local tax dollars, and falsifying residency is an added burden on our taxpayers.
  • Once residency is confirmed, complete the Initial Registration Worksheet to begin the registration process.  
  • Be sure you have a certified copy of your child's birth certificate. PLEASE NOTE: if the birth certificate is in a language other than English, you must have it officially translated.
  • Once your Parent Portal account is set up, follow the step-by-step instructions. (en español

Note: Children entering kindergarten must be five years old as of September 1.
