Welcome to a Wonderful Journey of Learning
It is our shared
responsibility to ensure that your child’s first school experience will
be a time remembered with joy and a sense of accomplishment. Simcoe
County District School Board Kindergarten teachers and early childhood
educators strive to provide enriched, varied, exciting, and positive
learning experiences for all students. We wish you and your child a warm
welcome and a future of exciting learning experiences.

2020-21 Kindergarten Registration
Notice regarding registration for the 2020-21 school year
As announced on May 19, all publicly funded schools in Ontario will remain
closed for the duration of the 2019-20 school year, in response to COVID-19. While school offices are closed, we are unable to schedule in-school meetings to complete the formal Kindergarten registration process. Please know, online registration applications have been received and we will be working to schedule students into classrooms for the 2020-21 school year.
When school offices re-open, you will be required to come to the school in person and finalize the formal registration process. At that time, you will be required to show original documentation verifying your child’s date of birth, home address and Canadian citizenship or residency status. We will schedule appointments and provide further details when information becomes available.
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the Kindergarten orientation sessions scheduled for 2020-21 registrants. More details about our plans to support the transition to Kindergarten will be communicated as soon as they are available.
We look forward to learning and growing with you and your child when schools re-open and it is safe to do so. While we wait for that time, please explore the activities, resources and videos on this page that will give you and your child an idea of what to expect when your journey with the SCDSB begins!
