Is registration complete after prepopulating the form?

No, you must ‘Submit’ the form via SchoolEngage starting March 11, 8:30 a.m. to complete the registration form.

What happens if the program is full?

Your child will be added to a waitlist, if a spot opens up families will be called based on the time stamp of the child’s registration form and the needs of the program. Children can be registered in their neighbourhood boundary school for Kindergarten. Another option for Preschool would be French Immersion Preschool at École Montrose.
