New Student Registration

New Student Registration During the School Year

Families who are new to the district during the school year will need to contact the secretary of their home school (school of attendance based on address) for registration assistance. The District 44 Administration Center can assist in determining home schools based on address. Please call 630-827-4400 or send an email via the District 44 Contact Us link on the district home page: www.sd44.org.

Walk-ins are not encouraged
Please note: No assistance will be available from June 23 - August 1, 2023 as school offices will be closed for summer break.

New Student Registration During Summer Break
Beginning June 1st, families new to the district may pick up a registration packet from outside Door 1 of their neighborhood school (Door 14 in the north parking lot at Butterfield Elem.) The required forms and instructions are included in this packet. If you require assistance during summer break between the dates of June 23 - August 1, please complete and submit this Student Registration Help Desk Google form. (This Google Help form is no longer active for the 2023-2024 school year.)

In the first week of August, a staff member will reach out to you with further instructions and an appointment will be made to complete the registration process.
Walk-ins are not encouraged.

After August 1, contact your home school for assistance as the Student Help Desk form will no longer be available.
