Registration for the 21-22 school year is now open for existing students!
Online student registration for the 2021-22 school year is now open. If you have not already started this process for your student(s), please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the up-coming school year. After you register your child online you need to:
Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage outlines the District’s student fee structure and the three ways fees can be paid.
If you have a student that is starting Kindergarten, entering fourth grade, or entering 7th grade, you are required to prove residency in District 15. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency. All D15 schools’ front offices will be open until 7pm on June 8 and 10 for anyone needing assistance to register their child online or prove residency.
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year. Families that do not register and, when required, prove residency will not receive information about their school’s school open house event, teacher assignment, class schedule, or bus route until registration is complete.

Student Certification Cards
Students should bring their self certification card or a note from their parents that is signed stating they certify that their child is symptom free and has not been told by a contact tracer that they need to quarantine every day.
Any student that forgets to bring their lanyard to school will receive a minor, unless they have a written note from their parent acting as their certification card.
Any student that has NEVER received a self certification card and lanyard, should contact the main office for one. Any other student that needs one that has lost theirs will need to bring in $1 (in an envelope with their name on it) for a new one.
Thank you for all of your at home support in keeping our students healthy!
COVID-19 Quick Reminders
Please keep your child home from school and contact our main office (847-963-7500) if a student exhibits a Covid-19 symptom, has a fever, or has been in close contact with any person that has tested positive for COVID-19.
All staff and students at Winston Campus Elementary are expected to follow proper face covering protocols, social distance, and practice frequent hand washing. We will continue to follow the recommendations of the CDC and snacks will not be permitted in the classrooms, equipment will not be used at recess, and classroom materials will not be shared.
Although some other D15 schools are using equipment at recess time, Winston Campus Elementary will continue to NOT use equipment at recess. Through some trialing, thoughtful discussion, and careful consideration, we are more successful supporting social distancing when equipment is not used.
Please remind our students of the importance to follow the safety procedures we have in place to support a safe and healthy learning environment. Student safety and minimizing close contacts remains one of our top priorities.
Please contact Marilynn Smith, Principal or Michael Coleman, Assistant Principal if you have any COVID-19 questions or concerns.
Reminder: Fully Power Down Chromebooks Each Night
Please be sure to power down your chromebooks completely each night and not just close them. The chromebooks do not auto-update from home if they have not been fully powered down. This is especially important to avoid technology issues.

Kindergarten Registration for 2021-22
Kindergarten and new student online registration for the 2021-22 school year begins on February 15. You may register your new student by visiting the registration page on the District website. Many questions about Kindergarten can be answered by reading our “Welcome to Kindergarten!” guide.
Please be aware that new students must show proof of residency and age to complete the registration process. District 15 is also developing a process for verifying residency for existing students as well. When the process is complete, we will share the revised requirements with all families.
For written instructions, you may view Campus Parent - Online Registration Instructions, or visit your school during office hours for assistance.
