Completed applications and appropriate documentation can be submitted to your home school, beginning at the advanced registration dates in January of the year that your child will be starting the program. 

What Do I Need To Register my Child?


Parents and guardians must bring the following documents to their home school (required):


• ​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.
