Kindergarten
Registration to Commence January 15, 2016
Kindergarten
registration will commence on January 15, 2016 for the 2016-17 school year.
Registration forms are available on YRDSB’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Children who turn four or five
years old during 2016, live within the school boundary and whose parents are
public school tax supporters will be eligible to register
for kindergarten. A kindergarten information session for parents is being
planned for this spring. For more information please visit the YRDSB website or
contact your local school.
French Immersion
Information Sessions and Registrations
Information sessions for the French
Immersion (FI) program will take place at French Immersion schools on January
14, 2016 at 7 p.m. Please visit YRDSB’s website in January 2016 (http://www.yrdsb.ca/Programs/fi/Pages/Program-Locations.aspx) to find the FI program location for your elementary school
location. FI registration will begin January 15, 2016. Parents or guardians of
Senior Kindergarten students entering Grade 1 in 2016, and wishing to enrol in
the FI Program, can visit or call the school office
and request an Office Index Card - short
version. The
Office Index Card must be signed by the principal of the home school. Parents or guardians then take this form, along with one piece of identification
showing their address to the designated FI program location to register between
January 15 and February 12, 2016. This eliminates the need to provide duplicate
enrollment information or to pre-register.
YRDSB’s
FI Accommodation Plan provides long-term consistency and equity of access to
all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB to continue to offer the FI program to all
who wish to enrol. The FI
program will be offered in
Dual Track or Single Track settings, in a variety of configurations. In
order to meet community needs and optimize available space in our schools, a
community's Grade 1-8 FI program may be provided over more than one school
during the course of a student's FI education. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and the
opportunity to use existing space in schools. More information is available on
the Board’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Please note: Some of the FI
accommodation plans will require facility modifications or the development of
new schools and will require short-term transition plans that might include
overflow while we work toward the long-term vision. Overflow refers to
situations in which the Board directs students to attend a school other than
their community school or optional program for a specific period of time, as
defined in Policy #108.
