Families with students who will be starting kindergarten or new to Community Consolidated School District 89 in the 2021-22 school year can begin the pre-registration process on Wednesday, February 10. Registration for returning students will open April 7.

Once you have completed the pre-registration through Powerschool Enrollment, you must next verify that you live in the district’s boundaries. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, families must reserve a time to present their residency-verification documents. Once pre-registration is complete, families will receive a link to sign up for a time to turn in the documents.

Residency verification will be held on the following dates at Glen Crest Middle School:
  • Arbor View: 3:30 to 7 p.m., Monday, February 22
  • Briar Glen: 3:30 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, February 23
  • Park View: 3:30 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, February 24
  • Westfield: 3:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday, February 25
  • Glen Crest and make-up day: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, February 26

In March, the family of returning students will receive the SnapCode they need to register via U.S. mail. The SnapCode will be used when registration opens to all students on April 7.

Students who are eligible for McKinney-Vento services are those who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, as well as students who share the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; live in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative accommodations; live in emergency or transitional shelters, on the street, or in a car; or live in similar substandard arrangements.
