District 58 to launch new registration system for 2021-22 ••

District 58 will soon launch 2021-22 new and returning student registration using a new PowerSchool enrollment tool! The new tool is expected to help families register their child(ren) more efficiently.

District 58 will no longer use the registration "snapcodes" from past years. Instead, families will register their returning student(s) through their existing PowerSchool profiles.

Registration will tentatively launch on Tuesday, April 13, but this date may be delayed as the new system is finalized. More information will be shared early next week.

District 58 provides community with pesticide notifications ••

As the weather warms up, it's possible bugs may find their way into some of our schools. District 58 uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a program that combines preventive techniques, non-chemical pest control methods, and the appropriate use of pesticides with a preference for products that are the least harmful to human health and the environment.

Whenever a pesticide is applied at school, District 58 will send families a notification. District 58 aims to give families 48 hours advance notice when possible. For situations that require more immediate treatment, the District will still send a notification as quickly as possible.

Summer School and Extended School Year registration open through April 30 •

Looking for summer learning opportunities? District 58 can help! District 58 will offer four Summer School sessions and the Extended School Year program!

Registration for General Education Summer School and Extended School Year is open now through April 30.

Registration for other Summer School opportunities will be open from April 12-30. District 58 will share more information about these opportunities next Monday!
