Step 1
Online registration for new families
New Family Kiosk
- Click on the above link if you do not have students currently enrolled in School District U-46 or if your students previously attended prior to the current school year.
- You will be registering ALL of your children you wish to enroll in School District U-46 (PK-high school) at the same time, including any student that you would like to have screened for our preschool program*.
- When you enter the application site you will have the opportunity to start a new application, or return to one that you have already begun.
Please use one application. All of your children should be on the SAME application, no matter what U-46 school or program they will attend.
You will then be provided with your application number as you enter the application. Please write this number down for future reference.
When you have completed all sections of the application, use the red submit button, and contact your school.
Step 2
When contacting your school
Be prepared to provide the following:
- Student’s Birth Certificate
- Required forms (see the Printable Registration Forms section below)
- Proof of Residency from Category A + B as listed on the Proof of Custody and Residency form
- Physical and Immunization updates will be due prior to the first day of school
- Consent for Release of Records from previous school (1st grade and above only)
- Need assistance with registration
The school cannot refuse to admit or enroll a student because that student fails to present his/her student permanent or temporary records from a school attended previously.
