| If your child was born in the year 2004, you may register them for Junior Kindergarten beginning January 15th. Please pick up registration forms at the school or on-line at www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca
To register, parents need to present the original birth certificate of the student or immigration papers and proof of residence.
We have two types of Kindergarten Programs at Cornell:
- Full Day – Alternate Day Program is our main program. Students attend on Monday, Wednesday or Tuesday, Thursday and every other Friday. It is a full day Program from 8:55 – 3:30 pm.
- Half Day, Every Day Program is our alternate program. Students attend either in the morning (8:55 – 11:30 am) or in the afternoon (1:00 – 3:30 pm) each day. The morning Program has a tendency to be more popular to parents.
When you register for JK, you can express your interest in either Program.
Caution: If you are interested in the Half Day, Every Day Program, you need be prepared to accept either morning or afternoon. If you must have only morning or only afternoon, we would advise you to request Full Day Alternate Day instead.
We will begin to organize the September classes in May. We use a range of parameters to place students in classes including: academic needs, JK/SK balance, parental requests, gender balance and social/emotional needs. We do our very best to ensure that parents know their child’s placement before the Summer Break.
You will receive your final class placement in the mail, along with the information about our Kindergarten Orientation Evening (usually early in June). |
