We are excited to welcome our youngest learners to school!
February is Kindergarten registration month at the Toronto District School Board.
Children who will be four years old by December 31, 2024, can start Junior Kindergarten in September 2024.
Parents/guardians/caregivers are encouraged to begin the registration process by visiting www.tdsb.on.ca/kindergarten. If requested parents are begin this registration process in-person at the school.
Once you begin the resigtration process online or in-person, our office staff will contact you in February, to make an appointment to complete the registration process. Families are asked to bring appropriate documentation at that time.
The following documents are required to complete the registration:
- Proof of age (birth certificate, Canadian passport, Canadian Citizenship card or certificate or baptismal record)
- Proof of address, including any two of the following current documents: Utility bill (e.g. hydro, gas, water), cable TV, internet, or home phone bill, insurance policy (home, tenant, auto or life), mortgage statement, rental or lease agreement or deed, current purchase and sale agreement, property tax bill or notice of tax assessment. Original correspondence from a government agency or legal clinic may be accepted as a second proof of address document.
- Proof of immunization (the card that shows a list of needles your child has received):
2. If unable to report online, parents can provide immunization information to the school and the school will mail a copy to Toronto Public Health. Toronto Public Health accepts and translates foreign immunization records.
3. If requesting an exemption, call 416-392-1250.
- Verification of date of arrival, if your child was not born in Canada. Families who are permanent residents and refugee claimants may register directly at the school. Children without immigration status are welcome in our schools and information about them or their families will not be shared with immigration authorities. To register, please visit the International Programs and Admissions Office at 5050 Yonge Street, on the main floor, for a TDSB school admission letter.
If you require an interpreter for the registration process, please let the office know.
Families will be invited to attend a Welcome to Kindergarten Information Session in May to meet current Kindergarten educators, to learn about the program and tips to support the transition to school.
