How to register a child for school in Ontario — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Register your child for school without re-entering your family details
School registration forms in Ontario ask for the same child name, date of birth, and parent contact details you've entered on health and government forms. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official Ontario source and contact your local school board for specific registration details:
What this process is about
Each Ontario school board manages its own registration process for Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. Parents register their child with the school board that serves their area, providing family and identity information alongside educational needs.
Before you start: what to gather
- Child's full name, date of birth, and home address.
- Parent's or guardian's name, address, and contact details.
- Immunization records and proof of address as required.
Contact your local school board for the specific registration timeline and required documents.
