RENFREW COUNTY – If your child will be attending junior or senior kindergarten at a Renfrew County District School Board school starting in September, now is the time to register.
The RCDSB welcomes kindergarten students to its schools year round but sets aside dates starting at the end of January for children to be registered for the upcoming school year. This year’s registration period for the 2015-16 school year is Jan. 26 to Jan. 30 and Feb. 2 to Feb. 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding the school lunch period.
Registering is easy.
If you don’t know your child’s designated RCDSB school you can email or phone the Renfrew County Joint Transportation Consortium at [email protected] or 613-732-8419 to find out.
When registering your child at the school, you will need the following mandatory information: proof of age (birth certificate, birth registration, baptismal), immunization records, Ontario Health Card, lot and concession number/civic street address, (parents) proof of Ontario residency (Ontario driver’s licence/utility bill). At this time, you will also be able to express interest in a before/after school program.
Junior kindergarten students must be four years of age by Dec. 31, 2015 and senior kindergarten children must be five-years-old by Dec. 31, 2015.
Junior kindergarten students who currently attend school do not need to re-register for senior kindergarten.
All RCDSB schools have full day, every day junior and senior kindergarten programs.
Kindergarten French Immersion is offered in Renfrew and Petawawa. For more information and for registration forms you can pre-fill before visiting your school, please see the board website at www.rcdsb.on.ca.
