WELCOME TO DSBN
With almost 100 schools across Niagara, we’re proud to welcome new students and families into a supportive and caring community. Our staff are committed to helping every student feel included, build confidence, and succeed in ways that are meaningful to them. When you join the DSBN, you become part of a community that values strong relationships, student well-being, and a positive start to learning.
If your child turns 4 in 2026, they’re ready for Kindergarten. Our Kindergarten program builds a strong foundation in a caring, inclusive environment.
Our elementary schools help students build core skills while exploring their interests in supportive, engaging classrooms.
Our secondary programs offer diverse pathways that help students discover their strengths and prepare for life beyond school.
Registration is quick and easy, and it’s best to complete on a computer. For families who don’t have access to a computer, need more support, or would prefer to register in-person, please contact your home school. Alternatively, you can complete our fillable PDF and email or print it to register.
Upload your documents in Aspen during registration, or share them with your home school before classes begin. This step helps confirm your child’s eligibility and ensures a smooth start to the school year. The supporting documents you will need are:
The Ministry of Education requires that every student (ages 4 to 17) has a complete and up-to-date immunization record on file with their local health unit to attend school. Contact Niagara Region Public Health to check that your child’s immunization records are up-to-date.
The Welcome Centre provides information and support for newcomer parents/guardians and students. Click below to connect with our Welcome Centre team or receive assistance in your first language.
If you’re already part of the DSBN and moving to a new area, there’s no need to complete a new registration. Simply contact your child’s current school to discuss the change and have your updated proof of address ready.
School staff will guide you through next steps, help coordinate the transition, and ensure your child’s information is updated. Be sure to have your current proof of address ready.
Have questions or need more support? Your home school is ready and excited to welcome you!
