Annual Residency Verification

Each spring, Stevenson High School verifies that families reside within the District 125 attendance boundaries for the following school year. To streamline this process for families, the District is contracting with a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information by comparing parent/guardian names and addresses with electronic databases such as utility companies.  If residency is electronically verified, families will receive a confirmation email to this effect in mid-May and no additional documentation will be required. Families whose residency we are unable to verify through this process will also receive an email in mid-May sharing more information regarding the documents required and the steps for submitting them. Families should not take any action until they receive a communication in mid-May providing instructions.

Contact our Student Services team with any questions you have by emailing residency@d125.org or calling 847-415-4078.
