Kindergarten Registration Continues
Registration for junior and senior kindergarten will take place during the week of January 25 to 28 at all of our elementary schools for children who are ages four or five by December 31, 2010. Registrations will also be accepted anytime during the regular school year if you happen to miss the January registration period.
To give each child the best start possible, our Kindergarten program provides a variety of learning opportunities and experiences. Our schools offer an excellent curriculum including French language instruction, with the unique dimension of quality Catholic education. We also offer comprehensive programs for children with special needs.
Registration takes place at each elementary school. To register your child, you must contact your child's new school, and be prepared to provide the following:
- an Ontario Health Card and record of immunization;
- a birth certificate or other government document to show proof of age; and
- a Roman Catholic baptismal certificate for either the child OR parent. *
* the baptismal certificate of a common-law spouse or step-parent is also acceptable
Download and print our Student Registration Form. The Adobe PDF form can be completed electronically, but cannot be saved to your home computer. Please print the completed form and bring it to your child's new school to begin the admissions process. Please note that additional documentation must be completed at the time of registration.

* We also welcome non-Catholic students on a space availability basis.
All inquiries should be directed to your local Catholic elementary school.
