During pre-registration, families will be required to provide copies of the following documents:

Custody/parenting agreement (if applicable):
Evidence of residency (e.g., real estate tax bill, lease, copies of two bills).

To submit these documents, parents and guardians will have the ability to:

Upload document files (e.g., PDF or images);
Use their smartphone to take a picture of documents using a mobile-friendly interface;
Email: enrollment@glenbrook225.org; or

Attend Incoming Freshman Curriculum Night

This evening designed for parents and students provides general information about the course placement process. Immediately following the curriculum session, everyone is encouraged to stay for an Electives Fair where they will have the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of elective courses. Instructional supervisors will not be prepared to discuss specific student placement on this night.

Attend Incoming Freshman Athletics and Activities Fair

Families are encouraged to attend this drop-in event as time allows.

Complete Registration

June Prior to Freshman Year

Please note: While it may appear similar, this online process is different from the new student pre-registration.

Parents confirm their child’s enrollment and verify residency by completing an online process. Access registration by navigating to the PowerSchool Parent Portal, and selecting the “Online Registration for 2024-25 School Year” option.

Step 5

Step 5

Submit Health Forms

All parents and guardians are required to submit health forms to their child’s school. The following forms are required:

State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination and Immunization Record
- All parents and guardians are required to present appropriate proof that the student received a health examination and the immunizations against, and screenings for, preventable communicable diseases within one year prior to enrolling in an Illinois school for the first time (regardless of the student’s grade), and entering the ninth grade.
Athletic Physical
- If a student(s) intends to participate in interscholastic athletics, complete and submit a current athletic physical. If you already have a recent full physical form completed (the State of Illinois form linked above), a separate physical is not required. Please note that athletic physicals are valid for 13 months from the date of the actual physical. Athletic Physicals should be returned to the Athletic Office at either Glenbrook North or Glenbrook South.
Eye Examination Report
- Illinois law requires all students transferring from out of the state complete an eye exam.

Pay Student Fees and Sign-Up for Parent Organizations

Beginning in the middle of July, parents may review and pay student fees in PowerSchool. These fees must be paid before the first day of school, and include general fees (Instructional Materials, Registration, Chromebook), course fees (based on your student’s schedule), and optional fees such as the activity pass, bus pass, and yearbook. Parents will also have the opportunity to sign-up for parent organization memberships and donate to the Glenbrook Foundation.

Access your student’s financial account by navigating to the PowerSchool Parent Portal, and selecting the “Balance” option.
