Registration Process

IMPORTANT:

  • The HeadStart program is a voluntary, summer program and therefore is not part of the registration process for entering Grade 9 at our WCDSB Catholic Secondary Schools (CSS). Only students registered at a CSS will be accepted into the HeadStart program.
  • If you are looking to register your child at one of our Catholic Secondary Schools during the summer months contact 519-578-3660 for more information. Unfortunately, we cannot accept HeadStart registrations during the summer months.
  • Parent Permission is required for students to participate in this program. Only Parents should register their Grade 8 child for HeadStart.
  • Students should NOT be registering themselves for HeadStart.
  • If your child decides to enrol in a different high school or in another system, please notify BOTH the school AND stlouis@wcdsb.ca
  • FULL Commitment to attend HeadStart ensures optimal learning, the greatest benefit and the least disruption within the limited hours the program is running. If students cannot attend for the full duration, we ask that you not register for this program.

If your child has a Plan of Care for a critical medical condition, you will be asked to provide that as a condition of acceptance.

If your child is on an IEP and you believe sharing this information will support your child’s learning during this brief time period, you will have an opportunity to share this information confidentially, as part of this program registration process.   By doing so, we can plan to have the appropriate summer staff support in place if required.
