Returning Student Registration open
On April 9, all District 45 families received an email with instructions for registering their children for the 2025–26 school year. Families with more than one child received a separate message for each student. It is not necessary to pay fees at the time of registration; payment can be made at a later date. Those who did not receive the email should contact their child’s school to verify their contact information and check their junk or spam folder. Families whose children will not return to their current school next year are asked to notify the school office to assist with planning.
2025-26 Kindergarten Registration
Registration for 2025-26 District 45 Kindergarten is open. Please contact the school where your child will be enrolled for more information and to schedule a time to submit your documents.
