STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN WAUKEGAN’S EPIC PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

If a child is currently in our EPIC pre-k program, parents may visit their Parent Portal and register now. Registration can be completed from home or parents/guardians can go to their child's school for assistance. Parents will need to submit two (2) proofs of residency by uploading them to the application, or by providing them to their child's school office. Parents who do not have parent portal credentials are asked to please contact their child's school to obtain the login information.

Prior to the first day of school (August 11), all new kindergarten students will need a current school physical with a record of immunizations, plus the dental and vision examinations.

Registration for students entering all other grades will begin on March 10.
