Halton Catholic Board Opens Kindergarten Registration for the 2027-2028 School Year

Milton's Catholic school families can now sign up their youngest learners, as the Halton Catholic District School Board opens online kindergarten registration for the 2027-2028 school year.

What Happened

The Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) has opened registration for its kindergarten program for 2027-2028, FM101 Milton Now reports. Families can register online through the board's website, and the board has outlined the documents and age requirements parents will need to complete the process.

Key Details

• Registration is done online through the HCDSB website.

• Children entering Year 1 must turn four on or before December 31, 2027; children new to the school entering Year 2 must turn five on or before December 31, 2027.

• Required documents include a birth certificate, proof of address, and a Roman or Eastern Rite Catholic baptismal certificate for the child or a parent.

• A child without a baptismal certificate may still be admitted if one parent provides a certificate from either rite; the board points to its Operating Policy I-22 for details.

• Families with older children already at a school can upload documents online or bring them in, while new families must provide in-person proof of parent or guardian identification.

• Schools will contact families to arrange a meeting to confirm the documents.

Community Impact

Kindergarten registration is the first step for Milton's Catholic families planning their children's schooling, and starting well ahead of September gives schools time to confirm documents and plan class sizes. HCDSB's play-based kindergarten is designed to build reasoning, problem-solving and social skills in the earliest grades.

Background

HCDSB serves Catholic families across Halton Region, including Milton. Its kindergarten program uses play-based activities to develop early learning and peer interaction.
