Kindergarten registration takes place mid-February each year. A child may be registered to attend Kindergarten in September if his or her fifth birthday occurs on or before December 31st of the current year.
Kindergarten registration for the 2021/2022 school year will be held from February 16-23, 2021. Please register ONLINE for your catchment area school. For verification of your catchment area school, please check the School Locator.

Your catchment area school will process your child’s registration as soon as possible. Once your child has been accepted at their catchment area school, office staff will follow up with parents regarding additional information that is needed. Parents should be aware that students may be required to attend a school outside of their usual attendance area if class enrolments exceed 20.
Parents/Guardians of Early French Immersion applicants will be notified by Tuesday, February 9, 2021 if they have been accepted into the program, and what school they should register for. If your child has been placed on a waitlist, please register for your catchment area school to ensure a placement.
If a parent wishes for a child to attend a school other than their catchment area school, an online non-catchment application form must be completed. Non-catchment applications will be accepted online only commencing February 1, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. Applications received prior to March 5, 2021 will receive priority in their respective category. Approvals will be processed as soon as possible, but may be held until the second week of September, therefore, parents should register their child for their catchment area school to ensure a placement. Schools will hold non-catchment forms until approved by the Assistant Superintendents’ Office.
