UGDSB Kindergarten Registration starts January 5, 2021 – Here is what families need to know

For Immediate Release
December 8, 2020

GUELPH, Ontario – Kindergarten registration for the Upper Grand District School Board is just around the corner. Registration for new UGDSB Junior Kindergarten (JK) and Senior Kindergarten (SK) students for September 2021 will take place virtually between January 5-22, 2021.

The process for Kindergarten registration is fully online this year. Parents and guardians are required to pre-register their child online. Once pre-registered, parents and guardians are asked to contact their child’s home school to make a virtual appointment to verify documentation. Registering online can be done at www.ugdsb.ca/kindergarten, between January 5-22.

The online pre-registration process allows families to fill out the pre-registration form when it’s convenient for them. If parents and guardians require assistance pre-registering online or do not have access to technology, they are asked to contact their child’s home school.

Once parents/guardians have pre-registered online, contacted their child’s home school to arrange a virtual appointment, and verified documentation with the school, the registration is complete.

All UGDSB schools that offer French Immersion at the Junior Kindergarten level have an enrolment cap. All parents/guardians wishing to apply for JK French Immersion must have completed their pre-registration and FI application by Jan. 22, 2021 at 4 p.m., in order to be considered ‘on time.’ For more information on the JK FI application and selection process, visit www.ugdsb.ca/jkfi.

English Track families are asked to complete their registration during the registration window. Currently all registrations for the 2021-2022 school year are for in-person learning. At this time, the UGDSB does not know whether or not an option for remote learning will be available, but it is important that parents/guardians register their children early so the school board can best project staffing needs for September 2021.

For more information about kindergarten registration, please visit the board website.
