Registration to take place at Douglas Elementary

Princeton Elementary students accustomed to twice daily shuttles may be forced to find other options if a driver shortage becomes worse. Nationwide and locally, school districts are feeling the pinch as drivers become shorter in supply requiring some creativity in transporting students.

If your child will be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, and will be attending kindergarten in the Princeton Elementary school system for the 2025-2026 school year, come to Douglas Elementary at 220 E. La Salle St. and register your child. (Shaw Local News Network)

If your child will be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, and will be attending kindergarten in the Princeton Elementary school system for the 2025-2026 school year, come to Douglas Elementary at 220 E. La Salle St. and register your child.

Registration will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, and 8 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 28.

You will need to provide a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate (the copy issued by the county) and proof of residency, such as a utility bill, tax bill, etc. when you register.

Book rental/technology fees ($40 for books/$50 for technology) may be paid at this time, but payment is not required to register your child.

All kindergarten students will have to be up to date with their physical and immunizations before the first day of school. There will be no exceptions. Vision and dental exams also will be required. Forms will be distributed at registration time.

Contact the district office at 815-875-3162 or Douglas School at 815-872-9741 with questions.
