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.
