Returning Student Registration open
On April 9, all District 45 families received an email with instructions for registering their children for the 2025–26 school year. Families with more than one child received a separate message for each student. It is not necessary to pay fees at the time of registration; payment can be made at a later date. Those who did not receive the email should contact their child’s school to verify their contact information and check their junk or spam folder. Families whose children will not return to their current school next year are asked to notify the school office to assist with planning.
2025-26 Kindergarten Registration
Registration for 2025-26 District 45 Kindergarten is open. Please contact the school where your child will be enrolled for more information and to schedule a time to submit your documents.

Students at Jackson are busy experiencing science.
6th grade is learning about thermal energy. Students spent a few days building a shelter to keep the warmth inside and the cold outside. They tested the shelter by seeing how well it could maintain the temperature of a small cup of Jello while it was outside for 20 minutes.
7th grade demonstrated their knowledge of elements and atoms by making atomic models and presentations of different elements. 7th grade also went to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry.
8th graders were jumping to learn how far they can jump on Earth, then took that knowledge to learn how far they would be able to jump on other planets.
