Kindergarten registration
All junior and senior kindergarten students who are new to the UGDSB must pre-register online at connect.edsembli.com/ON/UGDSB/CentralOffice/Portal/Online/StudentRegistration.
After pre-registering, visit the school on elementary registration day to have documents verified.
Parents and 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.
