RESIDENCY VERIFICATION
District 88 will continue to implement its residency verification process to ensure the district can maximize its resources for families who reside within District 88 boundaries.

Residency verification must be completed for all incoming freshmen, new students and transfer students before registering for the 2018-19 school year. To access the residency verification form in various languages, go to www.dupage88.net/Residency.

Addison Trail will be open to process/assist with residency verification from

  • 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday in July
  • 7:30 a.m. to noon on Fridays in July

Willowbrook will be open to process/assist with residency verification from

  • 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday in July

TEXTBOOK PURCHASES
District 88 continues to research ways to reduce expenses for families, while maintaining a stable budget and a high-quality educational experience for students. As part of that effort, the district will maintain the practice of using federal grant money to buy classroom sets of textbooks that have been identified as high cost. The goal is to help control the expense of textbooks to better support families financially.

Addison Trail and Willowbrook will still provide a list of textbooks for each class, so parents/guardians have the option to buy their student his or her own copy of that book through the school bookstore or from an outside vendor.

For financial assistance with textbooks, contact Addison Trail Assistant Principal Courtney DeMent at cdement@dupage88.net or 630-628-3306 or Willowbrook Assistant Principal Bob Daly at rdaly@dupage88.net or 630-530-3441.

CHROMEBOOKS FOR THE CLASS OF 2022
District 88 is excited to implement a new delivery model for instructional technology that will benefit our students. The district will redirect funds currently used to buy Chromebooks/laptops for carts that are checked out by teachers for student use to provide each freshman (starting with the class of 2022) with a Chromebook for in-school and out-of-school use for instructional purposes. The district will phase in this model (starting with the class of 2022) to ensure the most cost-effective, efficient and high-quality implementation.

Freshmen will receive their device during registration on Aug. 7. A letter with full details was mailed home and can be viewed at https://www.dupage88.net/site/public/files/?item=4017.

For questions or more information about District 88’s new delivery model for instructional technology, contact District 88 Director of Technology, Teaching and Learning Dr. Aaron Lenaghan at alenaghan@dupage88.net or 630-782-3133.


Thank you for your continued support of District 88, and we look forward to another great school year!
