Steps to Take to Register

STEP 1: Review the information in the attachment TDSB Summer School Programs - 4 Options for Summer 2023. Links for each of the programs and the course offerings can be found in this document. 2024 summer information coming!

STEP 2: Contact your guidance counsellor about your summer school plans.

STEP 3: Complete the online registration (if you are taking both Civics and Career Studies you will need to complete a separate online registration for each course.)

STEP 4: After Registering... You will receive a ‘Course Request Received’ email with the Parent/Guardian Consent form as an attachment. Complete the consent form and have your parent/caregiver sign it. Be sure to check your Junk Mail and Spam folders in case the email winds up there.

STEP 5: Submit the completed Parent/Guardian Consent form to your guidance counsellor to approve or deny your request. This is an extremely important part of this process because your counsellor requires this form to change your status from ‘registered’ in the course to ‘enrolled’ in the course. If you do not complete Step 5, you will not

have a seat in the summer school program.

Ways to Submit the Parent/Guardian/Caregiver Consent Form

● Scan the form(s) and email it as a PDF attachment, OR

● Take a photo of the completed consent form and email it as

a JPEG or PNG file. Please ensure the content of the photo is readable, OR

● Drop your permission form into the Guidance Drop-off box on the table outside of the guidance office.

Note: If you are emailing us your summer school permission form, please name the file using the following format:

  Last name, First Name - Course code
