REGISTRATION 2018–19     Be sure to register by Apr. 15 to save.
Registration emails were sent to parents of all preregistered and returning students on Mar. 1. Registration fees increase by $20 per student after Apr. 15.

Missing the registration email?
If you are the parent of a student who is now in kindergarten or Grade 5 and you did not prove residency between Jan. 8 and Feb. 23 at the school your child currently attends, you will not be able to register your student for next year until you do so.

How to prove residency: Take (1) a current monthly mortgage or lease statement or tax bill AND (2) a current utility bill to your child’s school office. You also will need to sign a form that the administrative assistant will provide onsite at the school. (Note: Sending forms in your student’s backpack will not meet the requirement to prove residency.)
