Residency Requirements
Lincoln Elementary School, District 156, has an established proof of residency policy. At the time of the online registration process, ALL parents/guardians must complete and electronically sign a Proof of Residency form and upload three (3) sources of verification required for residency. All sources must include parent / guardian’s name, address, and current date (less than 30 days old). You must have one item from Column 1: Driver's License/State ID/Picture ID from a foreign consulate; one item from Column 2: Original copy of lease agreement and current month's rent receipt, OR mortgage papers / current payment book/deed; and one item from column three or four: utility bills, paycheck stub including address, public aid/medical card, post office change of address, bank or charge card statement. A picture ID must accompany these sources. The district will not allow students to attend school until residency verification requirements have been met. Parents/guardians must accompany the student upon enrollment or re-entry.
Lincoln School boundaries: south side of Pulaski Road, west side of State Line Road, north side of Michigan City Road (also including north side of 159th Street between Forest Hills and Edgewood Drive), and east side of Torrence Avenue.
Registration of a student who is not a resident within the boundaries of District 156 is a fraudulent act. If a student is found to have been fraudulently registered, the district will terminate his / her enrollment immediately. Parents or guardians making a fraudulent registration will be charged tuition for the time the child has attended. Inquiries regarding the tuition charge for out-of-district students should be directed to the district office at 708-862-6625.
Proof of residency documents may be uploaded to the online registration portal. The registration page has instructional videos to support you in the process on our website at www.L156.org. Videos and instructions are available in English and Spanish.
