I don’t understand what one of the questions is asking me?
Please contact your child’s school and one of the friendly office staff will answer your question.
Some of the information is already entered, how? Why?
Since your student is a returning student to Minooka CCSD 201, some of the information such as their name, school, grade, and some custodial parent/guardian and/or emergency contacts were able to be pre-populated for your convenience and still require some verification or updating should it be required.
Do I have to answer all the questions?
All the questions marked as required are required to be filled in before submission.
I’ve completed the form, now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit”. This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all the required questions.
What do I do if I have more than the one phone number listed for my contact?
Feel free to add additional phone numbers to your student’s contacts. The online form will not allow for a duplicate phone number, so if in the event that there is one, you’ll want to update the number or remove the number entirely and also remove the phone type.
Uploading Documents:
The registration software provides the ability for parents to upload files (PDFs or pictures) for proofs of residency and medical documentation.
If you are submitting the form electronically on a computer, then you will need to have all the digital documentation ready to upload when you start the registration process.
If you are submitting the form electronically on a phone, then the upload buttons will allow you to access your camera and take a picture to upload to the form.
