Starting Kindergarten

Kindergarten students start school in September through a gradual entry process:
School-Based Forms Going Digital
Grand Erie is making the distribution, completion and collection of forms for schools and parents/caregivers easier. We are now implementing elements of the existing School Cash Online system to process forms. Starting the first week of September, all participating schools will be able to send board-generated forms to parents/caregivers through School Cash Online. Traditionally, these paper forms were sent home and collected each year during the first week of school. This is optional for schools in the first year of implementation.
2023-24 School Year Calendar
The calendar for the entire school year is available here, with separate calendars for elementary and secondary schools. Please contact your school directly for any school-specific questions about activities or schedules.
