How Do I Register my Kindergartener for the 2022-2023 School Year?

Kindergarten Registration is a three-step process. Please know that ALL THREE STEPS are required before your child is fully registered with Hawthorn School District 73.

Step 1 (Pre-Registration): Click on “Begin Kindergarten Pre-Registration Now” to complete and submit the Kindergarten Pre-Registration Form.

Please note: Hawthorn District 73 has contracted with a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information for all NEW students/families using the information provided by families in their online registration. We anticipate the majority of families will be successfully verified without needing to provide any additional forms or documentation. If there is any question regarding a student’s residency within the District 73 boundaries, the family will be contacted directly and the district will require additional documentation to verify where the student is living. 

Step 2: All families that pre-registered will be contacted by the district office to set-up a registration appointment.  At that appointment, you will need to provide an original birth certificate and a photo id/passport/driver’s license. We are unable to accept photocopies or submissions via email.  Appointments will take place at the district office, 841 West End Court, Vernon Hills, between the hours of 7:30 – 4:00 p.m, Monday through Friday.

Step 3: After Step 2 has been completed, you will receive your child’s online registration link via the email you provided in your pre-registration form (Step 1) to complete your child’s registration process. Students will be enrolled once:

• The online registration process is complete
• The District Office is in receipt of the child’s birth certificate
