Dist. 62 rounding up the Class of 2019

Tuesday, February 9, is a very important date in Des Plaines School District 62. When the day is over, Iroquois Community School and every elementary school will have registered the first members of the School District 62 Class of 2019. This annual event is called Kindergarten Registration, and is the tradition of pre-registering students who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2010.

To register, parents or guardians must bring the child's birth certificate and proof of residence in District 62. Parents can apply to the county clerk in the county where their child was born to receive a copy of the birth certificate. Registration forms, immunization requirements, and other materials will be distributed at each school.

Parents must come to the school their child will attend to verify registration and receive

necessary materials. Children must be five (5) years old on or before September 1, 2010 to enroll in kindergarten.

A health physical, proof of immunization, and proof of residency will be needed. In addition, a certified copy of the birth certificate (not a baptismal or hospital certificate) is required to register and will be placed in the child's file. Registration materials will not be mailed.

Parents may also register their child(ren) for Extended Day Kindergarten (EDK) during

kindergarten registration. SPARK staff members will be available at each registration site. For more information about the SPARK/EDK Program please call 847-824-1065.

For information on how to obtain a birth certificate call the Cook County Clerk's office at 312-603-7790.

Registration will take place from 4:30-7:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Dr. Diep Nguyen, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services, at 847-824-1169.
