Registration

To find out which school your child will attend based on your home address, use our Home School Locator. All contact information for our schools can be found in our School Search. From there, you can go to the 'About us' page on each school's website to find the name of the school's principal and trustee, school address and contact info, the start and end times, which bus zone the school is in, how to get to the school and much more! If you require support in identifying your home school, contact our Planning and Enrolment department at (705) 734-6363 x11326

 

Registering for the school year

 

Parents/guardians looking to register your child for the first time at a SCDSB school can complete the student registration form online. Upon completion of the online form, the school will contact you to finalize the registration. 

 

Completing the online registration application
Step 1

Create a SCDSB Community Account or log into your existing SCDSB Community Account. You can also go directly to the Online Student Registration Application without creating/logging into a SCDSB Community Account. NOTE: If you create a SCDSB Community Account you will be able to access your registration application at any time allowing you to complete the form in multiple sittings. If you do not create a SCDSB Community Account, you may still complete and submit a registration application, however the application must be completed in one sitting.



Step 2

Complete the online registration application form. Electronically sign the form and submit it. Your registration application will be directed to the student’s designated school based on the student’s home address and registering grade level. Submitting the online form is only an application to register. Registering parents/guardians must meet with the school and present all required registration documents.

Step 3

The registering school will contact you to finalize the registration process. You will be required to present all required registration documents. The school will verify the information on the registration application and review the required registration documents. Once complete, your child will be enrolled at their designated school.

What documents do I need to bring with me?

Birthdate documentation:

Proof of birthdate (original Canadian birth certificate, Certificate of Canadian Citizenship, Canadian Passport, Permanent Resident Card/Record of Landing, or Statement of Live Birth - long version).
  

Residential address:

Proof of your child's address. Below is a list of appropriate pieces of documentation that a parent/guardian may present to verify address:

  • property tax assessment

  • lease/rental agreement

  • ownership title

  • proof of purchase agreement for the primary residence

  • utility bill in the name of the parent(s)/guardian(s)

  • letter of residency

  • statutory declaration

Record of Immunization:

A record of immunization is also requested to assist the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit in meeting its requirement under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) to collect and maintain immunization records for every child registered in school. For further immunization details, contact your district health unit at 1-877-721-7520.

 



The SCDSB recognizes that access to the internet and/or computer may be challenging in some cases. We will continue to accept paper copies of the student registration form.
