Kindergarten is an exciting milestone for your child and for you!
Registration
Although schools are closed, we are still accepting Kindergarten registrations online!
Part 1 – Online Registration
- Online registration is available as the first step of the registration process.
- Once signed in, parents will need to fill out an online registration form for their child.
If you have never used the online registration portal, you will need to create an account first:
Part 2 – Complete Registration In-Person
- The second part of the registration process involves going to your home school to show required documents (listed below).
NOTE: At this time, our schools are closed until Monday, May 4, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 health situation. You will be contacted to complete Part 2 of your child’s Kindergarten registration after schools re-open.
What Do I Need To Register my Child?
After you are contacted by your home school, parents must bring the following documents with them to their appointment (required documents):
- Birth Certificate (required for Year 1 and Year 2)
- Year 1 children are required to be 4 years of age on or before December 31, 2020.
- Year 2 children are required to be 5 years of age on or before December 31, 2020.
- Roman or Eastern Rite Catholic baptismal certificate. If your child has no Roman/Eastern Rite Catholic baptismal certificate, your child may be admitted if one parent can provide a Roman/Eastern Rite Catholic baptismal certificate. Please refer to the Board's Operating Policy I-22 for more information.
- Proof of address
Please note: Children currently registered in their Catholic school’s Year 1 Kindergarten program are not required to register for Year 2. Placement in Year 2 will be processed by the school, unless otherwise stated.
