Will your child be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31st, 2010?

If your child will be 5 years old on or before August 31st, 2010, they may enroll in Kindergarten for the 2010-2011 school year. 

Kindergarten registration is being held from February 22nd to March 5th. During this period, parents should go to their residential school with: 

-Your child's birth certificate - This is used to verify your child's age as well as proof that you are the parent. If you are not the parent, you must provide a court-ordered document that shows you have legal custody of the child.

-Proof of your address - This can be a utility statement, lease, or property closing document.

-Immunization records for your child - An immunization record is required for all children beginning Kindergarten.

To find out what your residential school is, use the School Locator. This website will tell you your residential school as well as other schools to choose from in your zone. Regardless of which school in the zone you choose, you must register at your residential school. If you are choosing a non-residential school, you will be given a Choice card to write down your top three choices.

Parents are encouraged to visit any school they are considering for a tour and to meet the staff. Please contact the school first as they may have designated days for tours.

Additional Information: 

-Parents can apply to schools outside of their residential zones in late March but you should still register in-zone, in case there is not space available at the out-of-zone choice.

-All students are guaranteed a spot in their residential schools.

-All students are guaranteed a spot in one of their top three choices.

-Transportation is provided to every school in a student's residential zone.
