It is registration season here in D187 and I want to make sure you have all the information you need to register for the fall and summer school!

FALL 2021 REGISTRATION
Governor Pritzker has indicated that all Illinois students will be back in their school buildings this fall.  D187 is working hard to review and enhance all of our health and safety protocols and we are doing everything we can to prepare and support all of our students academically and socially/emotionally.  We will be more than ready to welcome all students back safely and to respond quickly and effectively to prevent any issues!  

To help ensure that schools and students are well prepared for the first day of school, parents are encouraged to register their  children as soon as possible.
