Online Registration Option

Online registration will be available in the summer. Notification will be sent to families when the registration window opens. Parents can complete the online portion of registration at any time. In-person registration will still be required for all students to provide proof of residency, pay registration fees, purchase PE clothes, and sign up for essential programs like athletics, transportation, and after-school care. Parents are encouraged to complete the online portion prior to registration day, however, families without online access can complete the full registration in person on August 5th.

Illinois statute requires all public school students to be residents of the districts they attend. Proof of residency is required by all families to ensure compliance with the law. To enroll a student in Ladd School, a permanent residency of the custodial parent or legal guardian, as well as the child is required for every student registering. All custodial parents and legal guardians MUST provide ONE Category I document, and TWO Category II documents as listed below

Category I: Most recent property tax bill and proof of payment, mortgage papers, signed and dated lease and proof of last month's payment, a letter from the manager and proof of last month's payment, letter of residence from the landlord in lieu of lease.

Military personnel will be required to provide proof that the child will be living in the district within 6 months.

Immunization and Physical Requirements

State Law requires written evidence of physical examinations, including age-appropriate developmental screening, and social-emotional screening, for all students registering for the first time and the grade levels below. Immunizations for Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Varicella, and one dose of Meningococcal vaccine are also required. Proof of immunity shall be documented evidence of having received a vaccine or proof of disease verified by a healthcare provider. (Section 655.250) The only waiver of evidence of immunizations is through written objection that these requirements conflict with religious tenets or practices, or that the physical condition of the child is such that compliance would be a hazard to the health of the child. Proof of examinations must be submitted prior to October 15 of the school year. New students to the district registering after October 15 will have 30 days from the date of registration to submit all medical examination records required.
