  1. Contacting the school (visit our Schools page for contact information) to schedule an appointment to pick up a printed student registration package, or
  2. Downloading and printing the completed registration forms (see links below), and contacting the school to schedule an appointment to drop off the registration package.

Please visit the following pages to download and complete the required forms for registration for school:
  1. Registration - Kindergarten page  (to register your child for Kindergarten, your child must be five years old on or before December 31, 2022)

In addition to the required registration forms, please bring the following supporting documents to complete the registration process for your child(ren):

Next Steps

  1. When all registration requirements are met, an intake meeting with the student and parents/guardians will be scheduled.
  2. The school may be able to connect you with a Settlement Worker in Schools (SWIS) through Regional Connections, which is a local organization that provides services, resources, and referrals for newcomers living in our region.  The SWIS worker can assist newcomer students and parents in understanding school systems, expectations and procedures.
