Payment information
-
When do I have to pay registration fees?
The district will send an invoice for registration fees to the email address that is on file with the district. The district will be generating these invoices through MySchoolBucks. Parents will be able to pay online.
If you are not able to pay online, you may mail a check or drop off cash at the main office at your school as soon as possible after the date you submit registration information online.
-
Last year, I qualified for a fee waiver. Do I need to pay my registration fees now?
If you applied for and were granted a fee waiver last school year, you must re-apply each year. Your fee waiver status does not carry over from year to year. Please submit your application for waiver directly to the CCSD 89 Business Office at 22W600 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137

Please note: the fee waiver does not cover all student fees. The district will only waive fees that are required for attendance at school. Activities like chorus, band, orchestra, or yearbook may have fees that will not be waived.
Fees
-
What is the Activity Fee and what does it fund?
The Activity Fee is a $25 fee at the elementary schools and a $30 fee at the middle school. The Activity Fee helps the district fund programs that are considered ancillary to the educational program, including: extra-curricular activities, clubs, intramural sports, speakers/activities for assemblies, and field trips.
-
If I don’t sign up for chorus, band, or orchestra during registration will there still be an opportunity to sign up at a later date?
Yes. Your student will be allowed to sign up for these activities once school starts.
-
If I don’t purchase a yearbook at registration, will there still be an opportunity to purchase one at a later date?
Yes. There will be another opportunity to purchase a yearbook at the beginning of the school year.
Early entrance to kindergarten
-
Can my child start kindergarten early?
CCSD 89 considers Early Entrance to Kindergarten as a form of whole-grade acceleration (Board Policy 6:135 Acceleration Policy). This is an educational intervention that may be appropriate for some children who will turn five between September 2 and December 31 that demonstrate exceptionally high ability and developmental levels in all assessed areas.

General procedures and computer issues
-
I am new to the district and don’t know where to begin.
Please click on "New student registration 2024-25" if you are registering for the 2024-25 school year, and follow the pre-registration link.
After completing the pre-registration process, you will need to visit the Administration Center, 22W600 Butterfield Road, to prove residency. After that process is completed, you will be issued a “SnapCode” to complete the registration process.
-
I have encountered an error after I completed registration for my first child and tried to move on to register my second child. What should I do?
If you encounter an error while registering your child, please click out of your browser and reload the browser. You also may need to “clear the cookies” in your browser. The method to do this differs by browser: Firefox instructions, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome.
-
My computer is trying to auto-fill my information when I enter my name, but the data does not fill in the fields in the correct format. What should I do?
Many computers “remember” your name, phone number, address and will “auto-fill” fields with data. That data must be in the format (for example, a phone number must be in xxx-xxx-xxxx format) required by PowerSchool Enrollment, or you will receive an error message. Simply click “OK” on the error message and correct the format of the data.
-
My child and I reside within the CCSD 89 boundaries; however, my child attends school out of district for a special education program. Do I still need to complete the registration process?
Yes. You are still required to register in your home district, which would be CCSD 89.
