Online Student Registration Assistance

If you need assistance with completing your online student registration, you can email regparenthelp@district130.org to make an appointment with the registrar.  You will be able to use one of our registration computer stations if needed.

August Open Student Registration for Incomplete Returning Students or New Students

Open registration for returning and new students will be on August 6, 2024 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. by appointment) or on August 7, 2024 (12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. walk-in only) at each school.

Overcapacity Transfers

Please be informed of the possibility that your child may be transferred to another school within Cook County School District 130 due to maximum student enrollment in certain grade levels at your neighborhood school. The criterion for enrollment of students to another school is based on the date and time the student fully completed all steps of student registration. If it becomes necessary to transfer a student, the last enrolled student will be the first student moved to another school within Cook County School District 130.

STEP 3 – New Student Enrollment Documentation and Residency Verification at District Office

After you have registered your child online, Cook County School District 130 will require you to provide documentation for school enrollment, residency verification, and health/immunization records.  Within 5 business days after you submit your child’s online student registration, we will reach out to you by phone and/or email to begin Step 3 of new student registration.

Parents MUST make a new student appointment to provide school enrollment documentation, to provide health/immunization records, and to verify residency.  Appointments will take place at the Cook County School District 130 district office located at 12300 Greenwood Ave. in Blue Island, IL.

Additional new student appointments will be available at the schools on Thursday, June 6, 2024 (12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.) and on Friday, June 7, 2024 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.)  Appointments for June 6-7, 2024 will be made directly with the school office.  New student appointments must be made at each child’s school.

STEP #4: Respond to ParentSquare Texts and Emails

Beginning in late July 2024, you will receive an email with information about accessing ParentSquare and PowerSchool Access.  It will be important to create your PowerSchool Access and Parent Square accounts to receive notifications and information about your child’s enrollment.

Starting late July through August 2024, you will receive texts and/or emails through ParentSquare seeking confirmation and information about your child.  You will be required to respond to the ParentSquare messages to complete Step 3 of student registration and have your child scheduled for the 2024-2025 school year.

• ALL Students:  Confirmation that your child will be enrolled and will be attending a Cook County School District 130 school at the start of the 2024-2025 school year.
• ONLY Students Eligible for Bus Transportation:  Acceptance or refusal of bus transportation services for your child if eligible.
• ONLY Students Required to Pay School Fees:  Request a copy of the Income Verification Form for submission and review to determine school fee waiver eligibility.  Only one application is needed per family.

Finalized Enrollment: Student Schedules

Student Schedules

Once you have completed all four (4) steps, your child will be scheduled into classrooms for the 2024-2025 school year.  Student classroom assignments and schedules will be made available on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.  You can view your child’s schedule by logging into PowerSchool Access.
