Homer
33C rolls out more robust registration process for 2018-19 school year
Additional
documents needed to prove residency
Homer 33C parents will need to gather a few extra documents when
preparing to register their children for the 2018-2019 school year.
The district has updated its registration process and is asking all
parents, including parents of returning Homer 33C students, to present four
documents proving they are residents of the district. All documents must be
current (under 60 days old) and show the parent’s name and Homer 33C address.
In the past, parents only had to present three documents.
Among the documents parents must present when uploading information into
the InfoSnap portal are:
●
An Illinois driver’s
license or state ID with current, in-district address
●
Two (2) of the following:
○
Utility bill(s) -- cable,
phone, gas, electric, water, etc.
○
Vehicle registration
○
Insurance statement (auto,
homeowner, rental)
○
Medicaid card
●
One (1) of the following:
○
Most recent real estate tax
bill
○
Mortgage document or
statement (dated within the last 60 days)
○
Signed current lease
○
Military housing letter
○
Section 8 housing letter
Parents of incoming kindergartners are asked to complete the
registration process at Luther J. Schilling School, 16025 Cedar Road, Homer
Glen, on Thursday, March 15 between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.
Parents of returning students (students currently enrolled in grades
K-7) will receive detailed letters and emails explaining how to complete the
registration process online using their child’s snapcode. The letters/emails
will be sent to parents in early April.
Those who submit their online registration by April 27, will receive a
$30 discount per student.
Those who submit their online registrations April 28 through June 8 will
receive a $15 discount per student.
Full registration fees apply starting June 9.
Regular registration fees are as follows:
●
$155 for grades K-4
●
$185 for grades 5-7
●
$215 for grade 8 (including
a $25 graduation fee)
●
$35 for Speech and Little
Learners
●
$75 for Early Childhood
Pre-Kindergarten and Out of District
Families who do not own or rent a home/apartment in Homer 33C’s
boundaries but live with another family in the district are asked to complete
an affidavit for enrollment.
The affidavits are longer and more detailed than previous years,
requiring parents to fill out a 9-page form and present three documents --
including an updated, in-district driver’s license. In addition, the homeowner
will need to complete a 5-page form and present one document and photo ID.
Families who do not complete the registration or affidavit process by
Aug. 1 may lose their child’s seat, meaning the student may be transferred to
another building if a grade level section is overcrowded.
“What
we’re asking of parents is not unique among school districts,” said Human
Resources Director Michael Portwood. “Residency verification is a fairly common
practice and responsibly protects taxpayer dollars.”
