REGISTRATION for the 2012 – 2013 school year has now begun!

For your consideration:

1. Please note the deadline for early registration. Families registering before February 29th will pay a deposit of $200. After March 1st the fee will increase to $400.

2.  You must submit the entire package to register your child. (Please note: The Ministry of Health has informed us that every student’s immunization form must be up to date for them to be allowed into school. The Ministry has provided waiver forms for those who choose not to immunize their children; ask at the office for more information.)

3. If you prefer, you may download the REGISTRATION FORMS and fill them out online before printing them to bring in to the school. A few pages need signatures – and there is a check list to make sure you have completed everything.

4.  If you are registering your child in our TODDLER PROGRAM, please note that our fee schedule only lists the cost for those children attending 5 mornings a week or 5 full days a week.  For the cost of other options (three mornings a week, or three full days a week, for example), please contact the office. Thank you.

Our annual Christmas concert takes place on the morning of December 20 this year, at 9:30 a.m. Children should arrive at school as usual.  The concert itself is held in Notre Dame.
