The Department of Education is hosting a Zoom webinar about Kindergarten registration and Early French Immersion Kindergarten programs on Wednesday, January 24, at 7 pm.
All Yukon parents and guardians are invited to attend this information session to learn about the registration process, program details and to have their questions answered by department staff.
Yukon children who will be five years old by December 31, 2024, are eligible to start Kindergarten this coming school year.
Online registration for Kindergarten at all Whitehorse schools opens on Thursday, February 1. This includes French Immersion Kindergarten programs (at École Selkirk Elementary and École Whitehorse Elementary), First Nation School Board schools (Takhini Elementary and Grey Mountain Primary) and Catholic schools.
Registration for rural community schools is in person at the school at any time before the school year starts.
The Zoom webinar link is https://yukonedu.zoom.us/j/68548100546?pwd=OHRIWkhnWUQ2VDRzRFgyTUVvMW8xQT09.
Registration for all Whitehorse schools is online only. People can Visit yukon.ca/register-child-school to start the registration process.
The deadline to register for French Immersion Kindergarten programs is Sunday, February 18, 2024.
Kindergarten registration is also opening for the new Whistle Bend Elementary School.
When registering, parents and guardians will be asked to provide a digital copy of their child’s identification, such as a birth certificate, passport or Canadian citizenship certificate. If they cannot provide it at the time, they can present it to the school later.
Children must attend Kindergarten at a school in their local neighborhood or area. This does not apply to Catholic schools, French immersion and French first-language schools and First Nation School Board schools, which have wider attendance areas. Attendance area information can be found on the Register your child for school page.
