**During registration you have the option to upload documents listed below or others. If you would like to upload them, the file format for all uploaded documents must either be PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PNG, JPG, or JPEG. Each document must also be less than 5MB in size.
 

Generally, Illinois law provides that the residence of a student is deemed to be the same as the residence of the person who has legal custody of the student and permits only students who are residents of the school district to enroll and attend on a tuition-free basis.  The person claiming custody must also reside in the District.

The District may investigate the residency of any student before or after enrollment and require the involved persons to provide additional information to be considered by the District in determining residency. Enrollment is not completed, and attendance will usually not be permitted, until all residency issues are resolved. As initial proof of residency, the person with whom the student lives in the district and who claims custody of the student must provide at least one original document from Category I and Category II, and one document from Category III below.

 If the person enrolling the student claims the student is (1) homeless or (2) attending school in the student’s former district upon the determination of the Department of Children and Family Services, only the appropriate line in Category IV must be checked on the registration forms.

• All documents being submitted must have the parent's/guardian’s name and current address listed on the document.
• All parents/guardians must provide a valid photo ID with a CURRENT District 105 address.

Category I (One Item)

1. Illinois Driver's License
2. Illinois State Identification Card
3. Other

3. Evidence of Non-Parent’s Custody, Control, and Responsibility of a Student. Non-Parent will need to prove residency.

3. Residency will be established within 30 calendar days. Upload a real estate contract, lease or closing statement.

If any of the above in Category IV are applicable, mark the appropriate box on the registration form.

This proof of residency process is to attest that your child is not enrolling in the District solely for education purposes and is living on a permanent basis with the person having complete custody and control.  Registration of a student who is not a resident of District 105 is a fraudulent act.  Any student found to have fraudulent registration will be subject to the payment of retroactive tuition charged to non-resident students, not to exceed 110% of the per capita cost.

You have several methods to submit the necessary documents listed above.

1. You can make photocopies and bring them to the school office.
