We thank you for taking the time to respond.
What school will my child attend?
If you are new to your neighbourhood or new to our board, the Student Services Consortium can help you locate the school closest to your home or daycare and arrange for busing for your child if eligible. Be sure to specify the Sudbury Catholic District School Board and be prepared to provide your child’s grade and program (Regular or French Immersion). If you wish to send your child to a school outside of your boundary, please contact the principal of the desired school to discuss your options.
How do I register my child?
See our list of schools for school website and contact information, and then contact the school in August to make an appointment to register. Secondary schools reopen for registration on August 21st. Elementary schools reopen on August 28th. Please remember to bring:
• Birth Certificate or Passport
• Baptism Certificate
• Immunization Card
Can I register my child if he or she is not baptized?
If an elementary student or at least one of his or her parents/guardians is baptized Catholic, the student will be enrolled using the standard registration process. If an elementary student does not meet this criteria he or she may still enrol. Please contact the school to arrange for a discussion about the process.
Secondary schools in Ontario are ‘open access’ and we are pleased to welcome all students in grades 9 through 12.

You are asked to share your input through an online process called Thoughtexchange. All responses will be anonymous. When the survey closes, you will then be invited to look a second time at emerging themes and prioritize them. The collated results will be discussed in the fall of 2017 at the provincial symposium. The information will then serve to guide our work into the future.
The process is simple. You can offer your ideas and input on-line through Thoughexchange. Log in to: http://signup.thotex.com/iceont/Pyv to participate.

Title: Involving Parents in the Process of Learning
Description: Parent involvement in the learning process of schools is the number one factor for student success. As schools look forward towards using social media to improve learning in their schools, many parents are fearful of what this means. Social media provides an opportunity for parents to have meaningful engagement in the learning of their child. This can greatly change the conversations not only at school, but also at home with the child. This talk provides peace of mind to parents while also engaging them in considering the unique opportunity they have to participate in their child’s learning.
