Register your child for Kindergarten
If your child will be 5 years old by December 31, 2024, they can start Kindergarten in the 2024-25 school year.
In the Yukon, Kindergarten is optional. Your child can start school in Grade 1 if you prefer. We recommend Kindergarten. It helps a lot with your child's early learning.
Before you get started
Please note the following important information:
Set up a Parent Account
Before you can register your child, you need to create a Parent Account in our student information system, called Aspen/MyEducationBC.
Registration opens on February 1, 2024.
The deadline to register for French Immersion Kindergarten programs is February 18, 2024.
You'll need to upload a digital copy of your child's ID (a birth certificate, passport, or Canadian citizenship certificate.) You can skip this step if needed and bring it to the school later.
