There are several registration periods for families applying for seats in September 2009. To improve your chances of being assigned to a school of your choice, apply during the earliest registration period for your child’s grade.
Kindergarten, Grade 6, Grade 9
January 5, 2009 - February 6, 2009
For students entering Kindergarten (K0 for 3-year-olds, K1 for four-year-olds, K2 for five-year-olds), and students entering Grade 6 or 9.
