Frankfort School District 157-C Kindergarten Registration

Frankfort School District 157-C will conduct kindergarten registration for children who will be entering kindergarten for the 2012-2013 school year. Registration will be held from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 29, at .

All children who will be five years of age on or before Sept. 1, 2012, are eligible for entry into kindergarten in the fall.

During registration, parents will complete registration forms and pay the appropriate fees. A legal
birth certificate is also required. A legal birth certificate is available from the county clerk in the county
where the child was born.

In addition, parents must provide three articles of evidence verifying residency: one primary proof
and two secondary proofs of residency.

Articles that will be accepted as primary proofs of residency include:

• the most recent real estate tax bill showing your name as the taxpayer,
• a signed lease showing lessor’s name, address and phone number along with your name as the lessee
• a closing statement for the purchase of your residence or a notarized letter from the owner of residence stating that you reside at that residence and the duration of your residence

Articles that will be accepted as secondary proofs of
residency may include

• a driver’s license
• a gas, electric or telephone bill
• a Public Aid card
• a voter registration card or application for voter registration card
• a home/apartment insurance certificate
• a State of Illinois automobile registration
• receipt for Village of Frankfort automobile sticker

Proof of residency from an older sibling’s cumulative folder will not be accepted as the state requires current dates.

Attending kindergarten registration is critical as decisions regarding the number of kindergarten sections needed and the resulting class sizes are based upon registration numbers. Administrators ask that parents who have a child who qualifies for kindergarten attend this important
event and that they share this information with any other parents they know who will have kindergarten
age children.

Questions regarding the kindergarten registration process should be directed to the Grand Prairie Elementary School office at 815-469-3366.
