Due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus), registration for the 2020-21 school year in District 97 will be entirely online.
An email sent May 6 from InfoSnap (PowerSchool Enrollment) to all returning families stated that registration must be completed within seven days. We understand that families may need additional time to complete this process. To clarify, registration for returning students will be open May 6 through May 20, 2020.
Submitting your child’s registration by May 20 will help the district determine student enrollment and accurately plan staffing, room assignments, devices, materials, etc. We ask that all families complete the online registration as soon as possible once they receive their snapcode email.
Detailed information about the returning registration process is available on the district website at https://www.op97.org/hr/student-registration. We have included some frequently asked questions below. If you have any additional questions, please email [email protected].
*Please note that Kindergarten and New Student Registration will be open through June 6. Families who wish to enroll a kindergartner or new student should start the registration process now by completing a Google survey form on our website.
