Registration

District 58 will continue to contract with Thomson Reuters CLEAR, a third party vendor, to automatically verify student address information. The vendor will use parent and/or guardian names and addresses to crosscheck the information against other public electronic databases, such as utility companies, DMV records, property tax records. This service has been safely used by many surrounding school districts to verify student residency information, including District 99. 

In some circumstances, additional documentation will be needed:

• Families of all new students
• Families of all kindergarten students (regardless of preschool attendance or current siblings in the District)
• Families that annually lease their residence
• Families that provide an affidavit of residency
• Families whose residency is not able to be electronically verified

If the District is unable to verify your address, you will receive a letter directly from our District Office. The letter will provide details regarding the additional information you will need to provide in order for your child to start the 2024-25 school year.

Verifying residency is an effort to protect taxpayers and district resources by identifying non-residents attending District 58 schools. Illinois law mandates that parents demonstrate residency prior to enrollment in school and allows for periodic verification to validate compliance with the law. 

As part of registration for the 2024-25 school year, District 58 is asking parents/guardians to review and sign the 2024-25 Schools of 58: A Handbook for Families (2024-25 Manual Familias del Distrito 58) Please review this important handbook with your child, as it offers an overview of the District’s policies, procedures, resources and student expectations. This year we are asking parents to sign the handbook as part of registration in order to streamline the handbook consent process. As always, you can request a paper copy of the handbook from your school office. Please note that the handbook can be updated throughout the year. Any major updates will be noted in principal newsletters and via Communicate 58.
