Parents with young children set to start school in the fall have been given a month to register with their local school board.
Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) issued a notice Jan. 22, opening registration for both junior and senior kindergarten programs across the district. Parents are being asked to roster their kids by Feb. 27.
“September may seem like a far ways away, but it’s important for TLDSB to know how many students are enrolled so that staffing and spaces for the upcoming school year can be made,” the notice states.
The school board says programs are available at all public elementary schools in Haliburton County, as well as Muskoka and Kawartha Lakes. They are available to all children turning four in 2026.
Parents can visit the kindergarten registration page on the TLDSB website to register and learn more about the program, available at tldsb.ca/kindergartenregistration.
“Kindergarten-aged children grow through play-based learning and small group instruction with caring educators,” TLDSB says. “Students will learn about language and math, engage in healthy physical activities and the arts, and develop socially and emotionally through interaction with their peers and educators who guide them.”
Student placement is determined by their home address, with TLDSB encouraging parents to use the school locator through mybustoschool.ca to find the closest school.
