New Student Registration

KINDERGARTEN and NEW STUDENTS in grades 1-8 who will be attending District 73 schools for the first time in the 2022-2023 school year, please start with the “online Pre-Registration form” below. If you have questions, please contact the Registrar at 847-990-4200.

Registration Steps

PRE-REGISTRATION

Is Your Child Currently Enrolled at a Hawthorn School?

Yes

No

Completion of the online Pre-Registration form (Spanish online Pre-Registration form) 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

After step 1, 2 and 3 are complete, the parent will receive an email with their PowerSchool Parent Access Account information. 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). Registration is not complete until steps 1-5 have been finished. *Please give this your urgent attention so that the district can plan for adequate staffing.

PAY REGISTRATION FEES

Once you have logged in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal (Step 4) and finished entering your child’s information you will pay your child’s registration fees. You can make your credit/debit card payment through the Hawthorn District 73 Web Store. You may also bring in a check (Please make check payable to: Hawthorn School District 73) or cash payment to the District Office if you do not want to pay online with a credit/debit card.
