During the school year, if you’re new to the area and your child is already of school age, please register at your area school as soon as possible.
If you’re arriving during the summer, go to your area school during the last week of August to register. The school can then assign your child to a class and he/she will be ready to start school on the first day.
Note: If the student is not a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, the status of the Parent or Guardian will determine the ability to attend school. Under new Immigration rules, those with a Study Permit, Work Permit, refugee claimant, or landed immigrant may attend a school with proper documentation. Fees may be charged in accordance with Education Act regulations. Please contact Gail Belissario at 905-527-5092, ext.2429 for further information.
