HOW TO REGISTER
Welcome to 2023-2024 Returning Student Registration for District 124
Returning Student Registration is online! To enroll your child/children for the 2023-2024 school year, simply log into your Power enrollment account and follow the easy on-screen prompts. All District 124 families are required to prove residency and pay school fees annually. We appreciate all families to take action and complete the online registration by June 6th or as soon as possible once the enrollment period opens!
If your child/children WILL NOT be returning to District 124 for the 2023-2024 school year, immediately call the school secretary to begin the proper student transfer out paperwork.
To begin the enrollment process, there are three (3) steps required to complete before a student can be placed into a classroom:
STEP #1: Complete Online REGISTRATION
Student(s) who are in a D124 school during the 2022-23 school year can enroll online NOW! Parents should have received an email or a letter with a SnapCode for each District 124 student that contains a personalized link to complete the online enrollment. If you did not receive an email, but did get a school letter, click on the green button below to begin the enrollment process for the 2023-2024 school year. If you have not received your child/children SnapCode, please contact the registrar at [email protected].
When logged in, verify that the contact information for your student is up-to date and make changes as needed. Sign-off required district forms and pay annual fees. The opportunity to pay your fees online is optional, however, if you do make a payment be aware that the registration process is not complete until you establish residency pursuant to Board policy 7:60, Residency.
** SPECIAL NOTE:
Change of Address: If your family has moved within the boundaries of a different D124 school, since the beginning of the preceding school year, parents are required to inform and provide the new address to the registrar before starting enrollment for your student(s). A Certificate of Residence (Appendix A) must be completed along with original proof of residency documents supplied.
Living with Evergreen Park District Resident: If the parent/guardian and family are residing with another family within the district, the person who owns or rents the residence must complete a Student Residency Affidavit (Appendix C) form. The property owner/lesee is not required to be present, however, COPIES of the following: one (1) document under category A, (2) documents of category B AND copy of district resident’s Driver’s License/State ID must be presented along with the affidavit. The parent/guardian must provide three (3) documents of category B.
In-District Transfer Request: Parents/Guardians who wish their child to attend a District 124 school outside of their home boundary, may submit a written request by July 31, 2023.

STEP #2 – Returning Student Open Registration at Administrative Office
After you have enrolled your student(s) online, District 124 will continue to use the CLEAR Batch system to electronically review student residency. The CLEAR Batch system reviews public
records to verify residency. ALL returning students will be reviewed using this system and will receive notification of your residency status via email and a postcard in the summer.
If additional documentation for proof of residency is needed, households will be contacted in the summer. Parents MUST attend Open Registration or make a residency appointment to prove residency (please review the residency link at right for requirements) at the Administrative Office at 2929 W. 87th Street if requested.
