Tinley Park School District 140 Kindergarten Registration and Beyond

If you’re feeling a little lost about the school process, like when registration opens or how to schedule, etc.—now that I’m in those shoes, here’s what I’ve learned to save you time.

When Does Kindergarten Enrollment Typical Open?

Registration announcements about Fall Kindergarten registration usually come out between March and April. But always call the office of whichever School District is yours, because things change all the time.

Last year enrollment opened on March 16th, 2022 (Wed) and ran thru May 18th (Wed) for the current Fall 2022-Spring 2023 kindergarten full-day and half-day classes.

Early registration discount is usually offered to families who register their students and pay their fees or set up a payment plan before May.

Set Up Online Account On District 140 Parent Portal

To save yourself a lot of time for future school matters, register your student online by setting up your parent portal account. Visit ksd140.org/registration to get started.

Paper Work You’ll Need

For parents registering a Kindergarten student, it’s very important that we provide our child’s birth certificate with the county seal affixed. For those whose child was born overseas, you will need their birth certificate (no worries on the county seal because that won’t apply to you ).
District 140 (as of January 11, 2023) requires 3 documents for student registration from parents. Each document must be recent and show your your name and current address. And you can easily upload all of these documents when you set up your online parent portal account.
Only (1) document from this Category (I) needed:

• Current property closing papers
• Signed and dated lease with two rent receipts
