If you have a child who will turn five between now and December 31, it's time to register for kindergarten.

Starting school is an important time in a child's life. To ease the transition from home or preschool, parents are encouraged to register their children for kindergarten in October of the year prior to when they begin school. This allows teachers, principals and school district staff time to organize several opportunities to meet with parents and children before school begins the following September.

Each of the elementary schools across Anglophone West School District is accepting registrations from October 10-13 for children who will start kindergarten in September 2018.

To register your child, visit your neighbourhood elementary school. It is not necessary to make an appointment. If you are uncertain of which school your child would attend, enter your home location into the Transportation Eligibility program.   

Newcomer Kindergarten Registration in the Greater Fredericton Area

All newcomer children who were not born in Canada, or who were born in Canada, but English is not the language spoken at home, are invited to register for kindergarten at the Newcomer Support Centre during the week of October 10-13 from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The Centre is located at 575 George Street (please use the Regent Street entrance).

For all-newcomer registrations, please bring the following documentation with you:

• Birth Certificate

A good start to school is important to a child's future. Register early so you and your child can be as ready as possible for the first day of school.​
