Kindergarten Registration To Begin

Do you have or know of a child who will be five years of age before September 1, 2017? If yes, then please consider attending a Kindergarten Information and Registration Night on Thursday, February 2 at 7 p.m. at Willard and Lincoln Schools. This is a chance to learn more about District 90’s Kindergarten program and to start the Kindergarten registration process. Families will be able to hear from Kindergarten teachers, the school nurse, the principal, and leaders from the PTO. A tour of classroom will be featured.

The Kindergarten Information Night kicks off the registration period that begins on Friday, February 3. To begin the registration process, families must pick up a Kindergarten registration packet. The packet contains all of the forms and information needed to register, such as proof of residency. Click on the highlighted links for more information about the Kindergarten registration process and for answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

For families who are new to District 90, registration packets are available at the Administration Building, 7776 Lake Street. Families will also have to make an appointment with Josephine Ribaudo at 708-771-8282 or ribaudoj@district90.org to complete the process. The hours for registration at the Administration Building are 8:00 a.m. – 11:25 a.m. and 12:25 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Families, who have a student already attending a District 90 school, can pick up the Kindergarten registration packet at Lincoln School, 511 Park Avenue, or Willard School, 1250 Ashland Avenue.

District 90 encourages all families with children eligible for Kindergarten this year to register as early as possible. Doing so enables district administrators and principals to make critical decisions about staffing, the boy/girl ratio of classrooms, the number of morning and afternoon sessions, and other matters. Starting the registration process also enables families to make all the necessary appointments that are required to enroll in Kindergarten, such as medical, dental, and eye exams. The first day of school is Thursday, August 24, 2017.
