All students who are newly arrived in Ontario must be formally assessed by the York Region District School Board's Reception Centre for placement into the most appropriate level of ESL.
The parent or guardian must contact the Reception Centre and arrange a date for the student to write an English and a Mathematics assessment.
Once the assessments have been completed, contact Markville's Guidance Department, at extension 187 to make an appointment.
During the appointment, the assessment information will be reviewed, and a program of study will be recommended.
The student will be assisted in selecting the courses best suited to his/her area of interest, language skills, and educational background, and the timetable will be created.
For more information on registration, the school system, or settling in Canada, visit the Newcomers page on our York Region District School Board website.
