School board reminding everyone of Elementary Registration Day

The Upper Grand District School Board is reminding parents and guardians that Elementary Registration Day is coming up.

On August 27, parents and guardians can register new students to UGDSB schools for the school year. Only new students to the UGDSB are required to register for the 2024-2025 school year. If your child attended a UGDSB school last year, you do not need to re-register.

All Junior and Senior Kindergarten students who are new to the UGDSB must pre-register online. You can do so here: https://connect.edsembli.com/ON/UGDSB/CentralOffice/Portal/Online/StudentRegistration

Once you have pre-registered, visit the school on Elementary Registration Day between 1-4:00 p.m. to have your documents verified.

If you registered your child in January during the Kindergarten Registration period, you do not need to re-register now.

Grade 1-8 Registration

To register your child, please complete this registration form online. Schools will post details for completing registrations, including document verification, by the end of August. School staff will be available on August 27 from 1-4:00 p.m., to process registrations.

Parents and guardians are required to bring the following documents to complete registration:

• Proof of Age (e.g. Birth Certificate, Birth Registration Form, Baptismal Certificate, Canadian Citizenship/Permanent Resident Card, Passport, & custodial documents, if applicable)

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

• Proof of Address (e.g. utility/tax bill, purchase/lease agreement, phone (landline)/cable/internet bill. A driver’s license, bank/credit card statements or cell phone bills are not accepted.)

• Verification of date of arrival/immigration documents (if child was not born in Canada)
