A Rainbow of Opportunity

The Limestone District School Board welcomes Junior and Senior Kindergarten students to its schools year round, but encourages parents and guardians to pre-register children in February for the upcoming school year. If your child will be 4- or 5-years-old by the end of this year, you may register your child now to start school this September 2013. Registration takes place at your neighbourhood public school.

  • Amherstview PS
  • James R. Henderson PS
