2020-2021 Kindergarten Registration Information:

Kindergarten registration is January 20th – 24th, 2020.

All families must register at their catchment school. A student must reach five years of age by December 31st of the school year to be eligible for enrollment.

Determining your Catchment School

Each home address is associated with an elementary, middle and secondary school.  To determine which schools are associated with a home address, visit the School Locator Tool.  Type in the address and it will indicate which school the student should attend based on the address they reside at.

What is needed to register for Kindergarten?

To register a student in Kindergarten, a parent or legal guardian must provide school-age eligibility, proof of citizenship and proof of residential address.  This information must be provided to school administrators at the time of registration at the student’s catchment school.

Kindergarten Student Transfer Process 

Parents who wish to have their Kindergarten child attend a school other than their designated catchment school can apply to transfer to the desired school during Kindergarten Transfer Week.

At the end of Kindergarten Registration Week, the enrolment numbers of in-catchment students at each school are reviewed. Once all catchment students have been accommodated, transfer applications will be considered based on the Student Enrolment Priorities.

A transfer request application will be available upon request during registration at your catchment school. It must be submitted at your catchment school within the week of Kindergarten registration to be considered. If a student is not approved for a transfer during registration, they can apply for their second-choice school during the annual K- 12 Student Transfer process February 19 – 25, 2020.
