Existing Parents with New Student
These instructions are designed for those families who already have students enrolled in Minooka CCSD #201 and are looking to enroll an additional child(ren) into the school district. The previous school of the student should not be Minooka Primary Center. If it is, then you'll want to re-register those students with the returning student form.
New MPC preschool families, please register after your assigned classroom teacher contacts you. All MPC students must be screened prior to registering for school.

Once you have submitted the form you cannot go back and update it anymore. If there are any changes to be made post submission, you'll need to contact the school. Additionally, if there are any invalid documents, one of the secretaries will contact you regarding the invalid documents and work with you to correct them.
If you cannot click on the Submit 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. You may upload these documents online or drop off the documents at your child’s school.
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.

If you are unable to attach the documents for some odd reason, submit the form electronically and then email your building secretaries the missing documents so you can complete your registration. Remember, your registration isn't considered complete until the documents are sent into the school.
Where do I see my child’s teacher?
This is just for online registration. As we get closer to the start of the school year, Minooka 201 will send out instructions on how to sign into PowerSchool to look up your child’s schedule.
How do I pay my fees for newly registered student?
As we get closer to starting the school year, you'll see your child added onto your Powerschool account and if for some odd reason it doesn't happen, please contact us in the tech department at pshelp@min201.org.
