News from District 153

Registration for the 2026-2027 school year begins April 15th and will continue through May 22nd.

Why is it so important to register by May 22nd?

• The earlier we know students are returning, the earlier we can ensure we have enough high quality teachers to teach them.
• When late registrations are assigned to teachers over the summer, it throws off carefully planned classroom balance. That’s not helpful to anyone--including your child.

Please help us make the best possible plans for our students, staff, and schools and register by May 22nd!
