Registration for 22-23 School Year
Online student registration for the 2022-23 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 three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year. Students of families that, when required, do not prove residency, will not be able to attend class in a District 15 until the family’s residency is verified.
LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?
View the recorded CCSD15 Parent University sponsored registration webinar. For written registration instructions, please watch our Campus Parent - An Introduction.

La registración en línea de los estudiantes para el año escolar 2022-23 ya está abierta. Si aún no ha iniciado este proceso para su(s) estudiante(s), por favor visite nuestra página de registro para iniciar este proceso.
La registración es el primer paso para prepararse para el próximo año escolar. Después de registrar a su hijo en línea usted necesita:
Pagar las tarifas estudiantiles. Nuestra página web de tarifas estudiantiles describe la estructura de las tarifas estudiantiles del Distrito y las tres maneras en que se pueden pagar las tarifas.
Si usted tiene un estudiante que está comenzando el Kindergarten, entrando en el cuarto grado, o entrando en el séptimo grado, usted está requerido a probar la residencia en el Distrito 15. Nuestra página web sobre la residencia describe los documentos que tendrá que proporcionar para comprobar la residencia.
Los tres pasos del proceso de inscripción deben ser realizados antes del comienzo del año escolar. Los estudiantes de familias que, cuando sea necesario, no demuestren su residencia, no podrán asistir a clases en un Distrito 15 hasta que se verifique la residencia de la familia.
