We are excited to announce an online student registration form, powered by Infosnap. The system is a secure and green process that allows the district to process the student registration form for your child.
Registration is required for:
- students new to the district
- students entering early childhood programs, kindergarten, third, or sixth grade
- students that have been withdrawn and are returning
- students for whom the custodial parent or guardian has changed
- students for whom the primary nighttime residence has changed and want to attend their new attendance area school

Introduction
Families new to the district, as well as those with children entering kindergarten, an early childhood education program, families of withdrawn students that are returning, and those for whom there is a change in custody will follow the instructions in the New Student section and click on the provided link to access the registration form. Registration is finalized in person at the District office located at 1500 McDaniel Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. For new students applying to an early childhood education program for 2013-14, there will be
special registration hours on Tuesday, April 23rd from 7am – 3pm and Wednesday, April 24th from noon – 7pm.
Families of students returning to an early childhood program, or entering 3rd or 6th grade will receive an email (or letter if no email address is on file) in the spring with instructions on how to access and submit the re-registration form for your child by the applicable deadline. More details are available in the Re-Registration Section on this web page.
For your convenience, computers are available in the lobby of the Joseph E. Hill Education Center. Assistance is available Monday through Friday 8:30am – 4:00 pm and during the summer from Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Please call for an appointment, 847 859-8065, if you are not able to register during these times.
Purpose of Registration
- ensure that only District 65 residents attend school on a tuition-free basis
- collect student and family information required by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and state and federal laws
- collect contact and emergency information so that district staff can effectively communicate with families and those they identify as emergency contacts
- collect information regarding students and families so that their specific needs can be addressed, and obtain consent from families for releasing directory student information and for media consent.
School Assignments
Students are assigned an attendance-area elementary or middle school based on their residence address. Families may view the online Attendance area maps for more information, but are encouraged to contact registration staff to verify the attendance area school associated with a specific address.
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Eligibility
Children who are 5 years old on or before September 1 are eligible for kindergarten. The 2013-14 dates to complete kindergarten registration are February 26 through March 1, 2013. Once these dates have passed, please come in to register immediately. Children who enter first grade must be 6 years of age on or before September 1 of that school year. Based upon an assessment of the child’s readiness, a child will be allowed to attend first grade if he or she attended a non-public preschool, continued his or her education at that school through kindergarten, was taught in kindergarten by an appropriately certified teacher, and will be 6 years old on or before December 31st.
Re-Registration
Families of students returning to an early childhood program, or entering 3rd or 6th grade in 2013-14 will receive an email (or letter if no email address is on file) in the spring with instructions on how to access and submit the re-registration form for your child by the applicable deadline. If you receive a re-registration letter in the mail, please use this link to access the form in English: https://secure.infosnap.com/family/gosnap.aspx?action=3750&culture=en or this link to access the form in Spanish: https://secure.infosnap.com/family/gosnap.aspx?action=3750&culture=es. You will be prompted to enter the “snapcode” included in the letter. If you receive a re-registration email, it will include a direct link that contains a unique “snapcode”. In either case, you will create an infosnap account that will be used for all students in your family, each year that registration is required. If you already have an infosnap account, there is no need to create another. Residency materials may be uploaded to the online form, emailed to parents@district65.net, faxed to 847.866.7261, mailed to 1500 McDaniel Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201 or
dropped off at the JEH Education Center. Assistance is available during the school year, Monday through Friday 8:30am - 4:00 pm and during the summer, Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Registrations must be complete, including health requirements, and applicable fees paid prior to a child beginning school.
