EMSB schools adopt reservation system for Kindergarten Registration
By: EMSB Communications
The English Montreal School Board has announced that Kindergarten Registration Week for the 2025-2026 academic year will take place from Monday, February 3 to Friday, February 7. If one child from a family is already enrolled in a particular school, a sibling registration period will take place a week earlier.
Parents are asked to register at the EMSB elementary school nearest their residence offering the French program of their choice. For more information please call (514) 483-7200, extension EMSB (3672) or log on to the Board’s website at www.emsb.qc.ca.
Special Online Reservation Project
Four years ago the EMSB adopted a new format whereby
parents could book a registration appointment online at some schools. As of Monday, January 27 at 7 am,
reservations will open at 23 elementary schools – a big jump from the five that launched the original pilot
project. One only needs to go to www.emsb.qc.ca/reserve. Over the years some these schools have had long lineups,
in certain cases starting days before registration occurred. Parents will be called to validate their
information, told if they have a spot and given an appointment time. As per the EMSB enrollment policy,
priority will be given to children residing within the school’s distinct boundary. Royal Vale and FACE are
exceptions, since they do not have boundaries or bus transportation.
Registration Process
All pupils registering for the first time are required to
provide a birth certificate and vaccination records to the school the child will be attending. Parents will be
asked to fill out forms which will allow the school to apply for the certificate of eligibility for English
schooling. Under the Charter of the French Language, a certificate of eligibility is generally granted to children
who did the majority of their elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada; whose mother or father did the
majority of his/her elementary studies in English in Canada or whose brother or sister did the majority of
his/her elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada. As a result of language legislation, this criteria
excludes studies completed in the Quebec Private School system.
