Kindergarten and New Student(s) Student Registration and Residency Instructions: 

Step 1: Initial Registration 

a. Visit the D124.org website and click on REGISTER

b. Click on NEW STUDENT 2026-2027 School Year

c. This will take you to the Powerschool enrollment page

• If you HAVE an existing PowerSchool account, you will login using your current username and password and click on 2026-2027 NEW Student Registration. You will then add a NEW student to your account and complete all the required registration and residency information for the 2026-2027 school year.  
• ​​If you DO NOT HAVE an account, you will need to create an account to begin the process. 

***If you also have returning students in the district, you will not be able to verify their registration and residency until the window opens on June 22nd. ONLY kindergarten students and NEW students for the 2026–2027 school year will be accepted before this date. We encourage early registration for Kindergarten students to ensure participation in Open House and spring screenings. 

d. Add all the required information and upload the required documents. Please review for accuracy before submitting. You will NOT be allowed to submit if you have not completed all the required fields and uploaded all the required documents.

e.  Please review the Residency Requirements before beginning, to ensure you have all materials ready to upload (see below for upload instructions). 

f.  If you have multiple new students, you will need to add each student individually. 

****Once this is complete, parents will receive an email notification that their registration has been submitted. This DOES NOT mean the process is complete and registration/residency is verified. Continue to Step 2 and review email correspondence for additional requirements or appointments to complete the process.

Step 2: Initial Residency 
All new families will be REQUIRED to attend an OPEN Registration/Residency night or schedule an appointment with the Registrar to complete the initial residency verification, which includes providing additional documents that CANNOT be uploaded (see below).  

Step 3: Verification and Notification  

a. District 124 utilizes a system that allows us to verify family addresses electronically. Only after you have completed both registration and residency in their entirety will your application proceed through the verification process. 

b. Once verification is processed, students will receive notification of their residency status. Notification will be received via email by April 17th. 

c. The notification will indicate the following: VERIFIED or NOT VERIFIED. Parents who are NOT VERIFIED will be contacted regarding any additional documentation REQUIRED to complete the process. If additional documentation is REQUIRED, continue to Step 4. 

Step 4: Open Registration or Schedule an Appointment

a. All families are encouraged to attend OPEN Registration/Residency verification if they have NOT completed STEPS 1 and 2, or if they are NON-VERIFIED and required to bring additional documentation or complete the necessary affidavits. 

b. OPEN registration night will be held on April 29th at Central Middle School, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Please bring all required documents to complete the process.  

c. If you are unable to attend open registration/residency verification, you will need to schedule an appointment with the district registrar.

d. In some cases, the district may conduct a Home Visit to expedite the process.  

Step 5: Class Assignments or Schedules
Please note that all students MUST be VERIFIED before class assignments or schedules are released.  The school district reserves the right to evaluate all documentation, and merely submitting items listed does not guarantee a student’s enrollment.

***During the school year, it generally takes two business days for registration to be approved and students to be placed in classes, as long as parents have uploaded all of their required documents. However, during our annual spring and summer registration, the approval process may take two to four weeks after the online information has been submitted. We encourage parents to complete registration as soon as possible.

Returning Student Registration and Residency Instructions:

Families are asked to provide documentation annually showing they continue to reside within district boundaries. Please read all the information carefully, as we have made changes this year. ONE important change is that ALL residency documents MUST be uploaded directly into the online registration system. Please refer to the residency requirements below and have your documents ready to complete the first step of the process. 

Step 1: Annual Registration and Residency 

a. Log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal (Powerschool Forgotten Username or Password Instructions).

b. Verify and update all student information, review and sign Annual Agreements, upload residency documents, and submit information. 

***Once submitted, parents will receive an email notification that their annual registration has been submitted. This DOES NOT mean the process is complete and registration/residency is verified. Continue to review email correspondence for additional requirements and/or appointments that may be necessary to complete the process.

Step 2: Verification and Notification  

a. The District will continue using the CLEAR Batch System to verify residency through public records. Only after registration is submitted and ALL residency documents are collected in their entirety will your application go through the online verification process.

b. Once verification is processed, returning students will receive notification of their residency status. Notification will be received via email by July 9th. 

c. The notification will indicate the following: VERIFIED or NOT VERIFIED. Parents who are NOT VERIFIED will be required to submit additional documentation to complete Residency verification. If additional documentation is REQUIRED, continue to Step 3. 

Step 3: Open Registration and/or schedule an appointment

a. District 124 will host OPEN registration and residency verification for all schools during the week of July 20th-23rd. These events will be held at the District Office with the following schedule: Monday (July 20th) and Wednesday (July 22nd) from 1-4 p.m., and Tuesday (July 21st) and Thursday (July 23rd) from 5:30-7:30 p.m. 

b. If you received NON-VERIFIED communication or did not start the process, we encourage you to attend the OPEN registration and residency verification days. 

c. If you are unable to attend open registration/residency verification, you will need to schedule an appointment. 

d. In some cases, the district may conduct a Home Visit to expedite the process. 

Step 4: Class Assignments or Schedules
Please note that all returning students MUST be VERIFIED before class assignments or schedules are released. The school district reserves the right to evaluate all documentation, and merely submitting items listed does not guarantee a student’s enrollment. Parents will always be notified via email when the verification process is complete and residency is approved. Continue to check emails regularly. 

If you have questions or concerns regarding any of these steps, please contact us or call (708) 423-0950 ext. 2145 or registration@d124.org.

What if we do not plan to return to D124?
If your child/children WILL NOT be returning to District 124 for the 2026-27 school year, please call the school secretary to begin the proper student transfer out paperwork.
