Kindergarten attendance is compulsory for all children who reach the age of five years on or before December 31st, 2022.  Parents, however, may defer entry into Kindergarten until September of 2023 for children who turn five between September 1st and December 31st of 2022.  Children who will not reach the age of five on or before December 31st, 2022 are not eligible for admission to kindergarten.

Registration starts October 12, 2021. Families may register their child by contacting their child's new school (school directory). If you are not sure what school your child is zoned to attend, visit this page:https://asdsbp.nbed.nb.ca/Eligibility​. (Note: Newcomer and international student registration information can be found below). 

Your child’s school will set up an appointment to complete the registration process. Please bring with you to the appointment:

·      proof of child’s age:  birth certificate, passport, another piece of ID (e.g. immigration documents or a certificate issued by another Canadian Provincial Government indicating the date of birth)

·      proof of Immunization

You may be asked to provide proof of residency to determine if your student resides in the district catchment area. This proof can be located on a formal lease, utility bill (power, water, cable, telephone), bank statement, credit card statement, property tax assessment, or building permit that contains the parent’s name and address.

A copy of your child's Medicare number may also be requested to have on file in case of a medical emergency.

**For Newcomer and/or international students: If your child was NOT born in Canada, or born in Canada but you are NOT Canadian citizens, or their first language is NOT English and they require English language support regardless of where they were born, please contact Lynn MacDonald, Admissions Officer directly @ Lynn.MacDonald@nbed.nb.ca)
