Online student registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open. Please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the upcoming 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. Information regarding fee waivers for families that qualify is also found on this page of our website.
- New families to the district, kindergarten students, families with a lease, and families that were flagged by our third-party residency verification system are required to provide proof of residency to complete the registration process. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All returning students MUST be registered by August 1, 2023, or they will be disenrolled from CCSD15. Students who have not completed their registration requirements will not receive a classroom assignment. Families that do not complete the registration by July 31, 2023, should contact their school to re-enroll their child(ren).
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year.

The week prior to Spring Break is always a busy one at school. Teachers and students alike feel the excitement of a week outside of the typical routine on the horizon. Whether your plans are to travel afar or remain low key at home, we wish you a week of fun, relaxation, and time with family and friends. When we return to school, the calendar will read April. Post Spring Break is sometimes viewed as the beginning of the end of the school year, however, we have much to do upon return! We will celebrate Autism Awareness Month in April, open our doors for the Talent Show, Open House, Book Fair, Donuts with Grown-Ups, Kindergarten Orientation, and our 6th Grade Farewell. Many classrooms will also take a field trip and several will host musical performances. Somehow the warmer days with added hours of daylight reenergize us so we can accomplish all of this and more. As always, we thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.
April provides us with the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and focus on inclusivity for all of the students at Marion Jordan. Our self-contained special education program, Structured for Independence (SIP), has a national month of recognition and we can't wait to celebrate! Students throughout the school will engage in fun activities to show their awareness and support as well as engage in a variety of learning activities throughout the month. Here is a glimpse of what lies ahead.
MJ would love to hear from YOU! We are well short of our goal of 50% parent responses for our 5Essentials survey and we need your help. Can both parents in a household take the survey? Of course! The more the merrier!
You have been invited to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey. The information you provide will help guide improvement as we strive to inspire each student to realize their potential through the education and opportunities we provide at Marion Jordan Elementary School. Your participation in this survey is voluntary, but important to our school and the District. We do not receive results from the survey unless at least 20 percent of parents/guardians respond. The more responses parents/guardians provide, the more we will know how to focus our efforts toward the improvements you want. Therefore, we have set a goal to reach an 80 percent response rate. Please help us reach our goal by completing the survey.
- Go to:the 5Essentials Survey website to take the survey.
- Select “Parent Survey.”
- You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
- Then enter COOK into the county field and “Marion Jordan Elementary School” to find our school.
You will then be asked a series of questions to provide input regarding your family’s experience here at Marion Jordan Elementary School. Please remember to click “submit” once you are done so your responses can be counted.
Please know that your identity and responses will be kept confidential and will not be connected with your child. If you have multiple children who attend Marion Jordan Elementary School, you may complete one survey for each child. However, only one parent per household may submit a survey for a given child. The survey closes on March 31, so please submit your responses soon!
Thank you in advance for your time and input. We appreciate you!
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.
