Three years can fly by, and it might be time for you to book your kid’s spot in kindergarten!
This fall, the Halton District School Board (HDSB) is hosting Calling All Three-Year Olds Kindergarten Open Houses in Acton, Georgetown, Milton, Burlington and Oakville to answer any questions families may have and help future students feel comfortable and confident as they start their educational journey.
Future students and their families are invited to attend any of the following Kindergarten Open Houses, to be held between 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.:
