ALL PUPILS NEW AND RETURNING, Kindergarten—Grade 8
According to the board policy adopted in June 1994, the Board of Education has directed the administration to request verification of residence for K-8 students during registration. The district re-registers each student in grades K-8 each year. Parent/guardians must show proof of residency at the time of registration each year by providing 1) a current lease or mortgage payment; 2) a current gas or electric bill; and 3) a valid photo ID for the parent/guardian that includes full legal name with middle initial and parent/guardian date of birth.

A person who enrolls or attempts to enroll in this school district on a tuition-free basis a student known by that person to be a non-resident of the District is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor, except as defined by State law (105 ILCS 5/10-20, 12b(e). If a student is determined to be a non-resident of a District for whom tuition must be charged, the person(s) enrolling the student are liable for non-resident tuition from the date the student began attending a District school as a non-resident. The District residency officer is responsible for checking that the children in our District are legally living in the District.

Students transferring from other Illinois public schools must present copy of their Illinois Student State Transfer Form at the time of registration. In addition, special education students should be registered at their home school. Special education students that attend an out-of-district school should register at Lakeview.

Student Instructional Material/Supply Fees
The Board of Education initiated a Material/Supply Fee to partially cover the cost of supplies, instructional materials, and workbooks. The Instructional Materials and Supply
Fees are $48.00 for grades K-6 and $60.00 for grades 7-8.

Fee Waivers
Parents may be eligible for a waiver of student fees under the following circumstances:
1. If the family receives public aid
2. The family income is under the amount set in federal guidelines for free or reduced price lunches
3. The family can otherwise establish that they cannot afford to pay these fees

Applications for requesting a waiver of fees must be submitted to the building principal. Applications are available in the principal’s office or online at www.zion6.com. The use of false information to obtain a waiver is a felony under Illinois law. Any inquiries should be directed to the principal of the school in which students are enrolled. Qualifying students are not exempt from charges for lost or damaged books, locks, materials, supplies, and equipment.

PUPILS NEW TO ZION DISTRICT 6
Illinois state law allows children to attend kindergarten if they are age five on or before September 1 of that same year. Those who will not be five years old until September 2 or later must wait until the following school year to begin kindergarten. A birth certificate is required for kindergarten registration.

Early Childhood and Pre-Kindergarten Registration
Registration for students enrolled in the Early Childhood Program and in the Pre-Kindergarten Program occurs at Lakeview School during normal District 6 registration dates. Children who are age three to five may qualify for the Pre-Kindergarten Program. Call 847-872-5455, ext. 121 for information.

Transfer Students
Students transferring from another Illinois public school must submit a copy of the Illinois State Student Transfer Form at the time of their registration. Registration and admission will not occur until the State Transfer Form is presented. Parents of students transferring into Zion Elementary School District 6 from an out-of-state public school district must certify in writing that the student is not currently serving a suspension or an expulsion imposed by the school from which the student is transferring.

A student transferring from an Illinois or out-of-state public school district shall not be permitted to attend class if he or she has been suspended or expelled because of possessing of a weapon (as defined in the Gun Free Schools Act), knowingly possessing, selling, or delivering a controlled substance or cannabis, or for battering a staff member of the school. In addition, if the period of suspension or expulsion has not expired at the time the student attempts to transfer into any Zion elementary school, the student shall not be permitted to attend class until the student has served the entire period of the suspension or expulsion that was imposed by the school from which the student is transferring.
