Head Start Program Registration

 

Registrations are due by June 23, 2023.

 

Students are eligible to register for more than one non-credit summer school program, as long as the programs are on different weeks (i.e. a student cannot register for the Math Program and Digital Literacy Camp at the same time if they are during the same week, but they can register for both if the sessions do not overlap).

 

If a student registers for a Reach Ahead High School Credit (July 4 – 27, 2023), they are not able to register for a non-credit program because the weeks will overlap in July. 

 

If you have any questions about the non-credit literacy/numeracy programs, please contact cont.ed@dcdsb.ca or call (905) 683-7713.

 

For questions about the Reach Ahead High School Credit Program or Head Start, please contact credit.reg@dcdsb.ca or call (905) 438-0570.
