As a final step, once registration is confirmed, parents/guardians will need to visit the school to provide the following information:

  • Citizen verification
  • Custody documents (if applicable)
Immunizations for School Attendance

Ontario's Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires that children and adolescents attending primary or secondary school be appropriately immunized against designated diseases unless they have a valid exemption. Every time a child receives an immunization by a health care provider, parents and/or guardians must report immunizations to your regional Public Health Department.

Kawartha Pine Ridge school directory can assist with contact information for each school.

Students are eligible for busing if they live within their school boundary and their primary residence is located further than the distances listed below. Distances are measured by the shortest walking route on publicly maintained roads and/or walkways to the nearest access point from the school.

  • Grades JK/SK: 1.0 km
  • Grades 1-8: 1.6 km
  • Grades 9-12: 3.2 km

Within our student registration form, there is a section providing an opportunity for a student or a family with Indigenous ancestry to voluntarily participate in our self-identification program. This program is part of our commitment to implementing the Ontario Ministry of Education's First Nation, Métis, and Inuit Education Policy Framework.

We are committed to supporting success for Indigenous learners by increasing awareness of the learning styles of students and increasing all staff and students' understanding of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit cultures, histories, and perspectives.

If you have questions regarding this voluntary self-identification component of our registration, please contact Colleen Honey by email or at 705-742-9773 or toll-free at 877-741-4577, extension 2602

Find a School

Use the Find A School tool to locate your nearest KPR school based on your home address.

If you would like your child to attend a school other than the one designated for your home address, you will need to fill out the Student Transfer Request Form.  As a rule, schools are able to take out-of-boundary students only if there is space left once they accommodate students within their own boundaries. Also note, Board Policy BA-7.1, Student Accommodation Planning, and Administrative Regulation BA-7.1.2, Student Transfers, provides administration with the ability to close schools to out-of-boundary students, where the accommodation and staffing capacities have been reached or are expected to be reached. These are the schools that are currently closed to out-of-boundary students.
The Student Transfer Request Form must be submitted to and approved by the receiving school's principal.  If approved for out-of-boundary accommodation, the Student Transfer Acknowledgement Form will need to be completed. 

Questions about schools in your area can be directed to the closest Community Education Centre (CEC)
