Register your child for school on August 30

Posted August 23, 2022

GUELPH, ON – Get ready for school!

As the new school year quickly approaches – and parents/guardians prepare backpacks and lunch bags – we want to ensure that all students living within the boundaries of the Upper Grand District School Board are registered to their appropriate school.

On August 30, 2022 from 1 PM to 4 PM, registration will open online for parents and guardians to register their child to their home elementary school.

Note: Only newcomers to the UGDSB are required to register for the 2022 – 2023 school year. If your child attended a UGDSB school last year, you do not need to re-register.

Please register at your local school. To determine which school your child is eligible to attend, visit the UGDSB’s School Locator.

UGDSB Schools

The UGDSB aims to inspire a lifelong love of learning for students of all ages. The UGDSB has extensive student and parent/guardians support, including in the areas of equity and anti-racism, mental health and well-being, and special education support.

Kindergarten Registration

All Junior and Senior Kindergarten students who are new to the UGDSB must pre-register online at www.ugdsb.ca/jkregistration.

Parents/guardians applying to register their child for Junior Kindergarten French Immersion will need to contact their French Immersion school for information about program space and waiting lists as the January registration period has closed. Please note that Junior Kindergarten is the only entry point into the French Immersion program in the UGDSB.

  • Immunization Record (Please submit directly to Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health)
