Need Additional Help Registering?

We are excited to announce that Hawthorn District 73 will be hosting three in-person registration events to help families register their children for the upcoming school year. These events are designed to provide support to anyone who needs assistance in registering their child/children for school. We highly encourage everyone to sign up for a specific time slot for the registration events. This will help us ensure that we can provide individual attention to each family and streamline the registration process.

Registration Steps

PRE-REGISTRATION

Is Your Child Currently Enrolled at a Hawthorn School?

Yes

No

Completion of the online Pre-Registration form (Spanish language option available) is the first step to beginning the registration process for a new student. **If your student is already attending our Hawthorn Early Learning Center (Lincoln School), you will follow the process for returning students, which will begin later this spring. There is no need to complete a new student form at this time.

RESIDENCY

Illinois Law requires that all students attending Hawthorn School District 73 be bona fide residents of the district. The District has contracted a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information. If your residency is electronically verified, there will be no need to submit any additional paperwork to certify that you live within the District’s boundaries. If the District is unable to verify your residency, you will be contacted by our Registrars regarding the additional information you will need to provide in order for your child to start the school year.

POWERSCHOOL – COMPLETE ONLINE REGISTRATION

All new families who pre-registered will receive an email and directions to set up a registration appointment with the district registrar. 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 8:30 – 3 pm, Monday through Friday. Please plan at least 45 minutes for your in-person appointment.

At the in-person appointment, you will be asked to complete your child’s online registration via the link provided to you in your pre-registration approval email.

Parent must create an account and then login to the PowerSchool Parent Portal to complete the online registration process. If you already have an account on our Parent Portal, you will need to link this new child to your account using the Access ID and Access Password (Instructions on how to add student - en español). Registration is not complete until all steps have been finished. *Please give this your urgent attention so that the district can plan for adequate staffing.
