School Registration

To learn more, visit School Registration.

Please confirm first if you are required to register through the Reception Centre and follow the appropriate process.

Families who do not need to register through the Reception Centre can send a completed Elementary Student Registration Form (Grades 1-8) or Secondary School Student Registration Form (Grades 9-12) to the school email address (available on the school websites). Online Kindergarten registration is also available.

If any of the following apply, please visit the Reception Centre

Students transferring to YRDSB from home schooling in Ontario
Students transferring to YRDSB from other boards in Ontario/other provinces with time-sensitive documents, e.g. work permits, refugee claimants
Returning students from outside Canada

All other students should register as follows:

Step 1: Identify your home school.

Home schools are determined by your home address and school boundaries . You may be eligible to attend an alternate school through the transfer process initiated through your home school. Decisions regarding transfers are at the discretion of the Principal and Superintendent, based on availability of programs and accommodations. Transportation for transfer students is the responsibility of the parents.For more information about transfers see Policy 108 Student Accommodation Attendance Areas Student Transfers.

Step 2: Contact your home school and set up a registration appointment

Expect to spend up to 1 hour at the school for registration. Please note that late August and early September are extremely busy times for registration and wait times and appointments may take longer. Be sure to ask your school any questions regarding formation and supporting documents required for registration.

Category A - notice of tax assessment, current rental/lease agreement, agreement to purchase including proof of purchase provided before the pupil attends the school, or property tax bill, and
