Kindergarten, New Student Registration Starts In D308

OSWEGO, IL — Registration for kindergarteners and first-time Oswego Community Unit School District 308 students has begun.

To register for kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year, children must be 5 years old by Sept. 1.

Registration for both kindergarten and new students can be completed on the District 308 website.

Students currently enrolled in preschool at Brokaw Early Learning Center, Lakewood Creek Elementary, Long Beach Elementary, or Wolf's Crossing Elementary are considered returning students and do not need to register for kindergarten at this time.

For the first time, parents will also have the opportunity this year to attend the Kinder-Quest Fair on March 11, where they can meet principals and district department heads, get help with registration, turn in medical forms and explore inside a bus, among other activities, such as giveaways and a photo booth.

The exposition will take place from 4:30-6 p.m. in the atrium at Oswego East High School, 1525 Harvey Road.

Returning students can complete their 2025-26 school year registration in March. Additional details will be sent to families in February via the parent portal.
