You can now register your children for Kindergarten with the Halton District School Board (HDSB).
It’s open for both Junior (Year One) and Senior Kindergarten (Year Two) for the school year starting September 2024. Registration can be completed online or in-person. Parents/guardians are asked to register their child for school by Thursday, February 1st or as soon as possible.
Families can learn about Kindergarten in the HDSB here. Parents/guardians can pre-register their child online through the Register My Child for School page. To register for school in-person, use the Find My Local School tool on the HDSB website to determine your child’s home school and contact the school for additional information.
If you are new and/or returning to Ontario, you should use the Where Do I Register Tool. It will guide you to where to begin your registration process (e.g. your home school OR at the HDSB Welcome Centre).
You should have the following original documents when registering:
- Proof of address (any two of the following current documents): lease or deed, car registration, utility bill, residential telephone bill, moving bill, property tax bill, bank statement, credit card statement, correspondence with a government agency
- Proof of age: birth certificate or passport or baptismal/faith record for your child
- Proof of citizenship: birth certificate or passport, Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Permanent Resident card
- If you are not the child’s parent, or if you have sole custody, please bring proof of custody (court order).
