How to Apply Online

THE ONLINE lottery APPLICATION for the 2025/2026 school year IS NOW closed.

The kindergarten online lottery allows parents/guardians to apply in five district-wide programs:

Beginning Monday, January 13, 2025 parents/guardians can register their child/children online at their local catchment school.
Online applications for the Kindergarten Lottery open Monday, January 27, 2025 @ 9:00 am. Parents/guardians will have a 3-week window of opportunity to apply.
Parents/guardians apply by entering their details, their child's details (one application per child), and their preferred program/school choices (up to a maximum of three - listed in order of preference). Submit your online application by the deadline of Friday, February 14, 2025 @ 4:00 pm.
Once the online application period has closed, a random lottery draw will begin starting the week of February 21, 2025, indicating whether or not the lottery was successful for their child/children. Families should have lottery results by Spring Break.
Successful applicants will be allocated a place in a Kindergarten Lottery Programs school, and their registration package will be forwarded to the school. All other applicants will be placed on a waitlist.
Program seats are filled until all available places have been allocated. Waitlisted applicants may remain on the waitlist until a place becomes available. If a student drops out of a program before or during the program, the next applicant on the waitlist will be contacted.
Make sure to check our Application Checklist and read our frequently asked questions before applying for the lottery.
