2015-2016 Student Registration
Online student pre-registration is now available. We encourage you to pre-register your children for
the 2015-2016 school year by visiting our website www.joliet86.org and clicking on 2015-2016
Student Registration. In order to utilize the online pre-registration process, you must have a District
86 Parent Portal account. If you need to create a Parent Portal account, please stop by our school
office. Online pre-registration is currently only available in English, however, a Spanish language
guide will be provided online to assist parents to complete the online pre-registration process. For
those who are unable to complete the online pre-registration process, blank registration forms in
both English and Spanish are available on the website.
Pre-registering your children online will save you a lot of time. Once you submit the online preregistration forms, you must stop by our school office and bring your proofs of residency between
the hours of 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, between April 8 and June 3. Registration is completed at our school when you bring your proofs of residency. For detailed instructions,
click on the 2015-2016 Student Registration banner on the District 86 website, www.joliet86.org.

El pre-registro de sus hijos en internet le ahorrara mucho tiempo. Una vez que envié los formularios

please help
your sixth
grade student study for the test. This test has been broken into
six “mini” tests to allow the students to focus on each part of the Constitution at a time,
as to not overwhelm them with one big test.
As a whole, the sixth graders have already completed the Preamble and the
Legislative Branch portion of the Constitution test. After spring break, your student will
be studying the Executive & Judicial Branches of the government, as well as the Bill of
Rights and the remaining Amendments to the Constitution. Please feel free to ask your
student about what they are learning. In addition, please allow them time to study and
use the internet to help them practice.
7th Grade Science
What is the Preamble? Your 7th grade sons and daughters should be able to
explain to anyone details of the U.S. Constitution including the Preamble. We have
been studying the entire U.S. Constitution including all the Articles and Amendments.
Students are or have taken the state required U.S. Constitution tests. These tests must
be "passed" in order for any 7th grade student to be promoted to 8th grade. Ask your
child how they are doing! Upon completion of the constitution units, we will be studying
the events leading up to and occurring during the Civil War. The year concludes with the
events surrounding the assassination of President Lincoln.
8th Grade Science
The eights grade team is studying the Illinois Constitution. The students will
complete state required test. When students complete the constitution we will move on
to Cold War/Current Events.
