HALDIMAND—It’s never too early to be thinking about the start of school, and if your child will be four years old by the end of 2023, online registration is now open for Kindergarten in all Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB) schools.
“By opening the window for Kindergarten registration earlier, we will be in a better place to plan and implement programming and resources to help children and families make a successful transition as they start school,” said JoAnna Roberto, Director of Education at GEDSB.
She went on to explain, “Kindergarten in Grand Erie is an exciting time of purposeful play and exploration where the youngest learners build their problem-solving skills, form positive relationships, and develop a strong sense of who they are in the world.”
Parents and caregivers of any soon-to-be GEDSB Kindergarten students can visit GEDSB’s website and click on the Kindergarten Registration banner for more information about the process.
This includes finding their child’s home school, which documents are required for registration, information about transportation, community resources, and before- and after-care programs.
Families that are interested in GEDSB’s French Immersion program have until Friday, February 3, 2023 to express their interest in the program and spots will be assigned through a randomized selection process.
New students who currently have a sibling in the program are guaranteed a spot; however, registration is still required.
Grand Erie District School Board represents more than 26,000 students in 58 elementary schools and 14 secondary schools within the City of Brantford and the counties of Brant, Haldimand, and Norfolk, as well as secondary students from Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. With a dedicated staff of more than 2,500, Grand Erie is committed to learning, leading, and inspiring.
