After you have registered your child on-line, please be sure to secure a day time registration appointment online through SOAR.

Families with children born in 2016 or earlier and who will be enrolling in Full Day Kindergarten, have the opportunity to apply on-line using the “Student On-line Admission and Registration” platform known as S.O.A.R. and found at the following link: http://soar.tcdsb.org.
Parents will be able to complete an application for registration from the convenience of their own home, the office, a public library, or anywhere there is internet access, 24 hours a day. The on-line application also offers access to translations in different languages with built-in help functions and features.
As part of the registration process, school staff will meet with parents after the online registration. These meetings may be scheduled on the electronic application. During the meeting, school staff will verify the original documentation required for registration.
This consists of a Baptismal Certificate for the child or a parent that has a Baptismal Certificate who resides in Toronto, Birth Certificate and/or Passport, proof of residence and Application for Direction of School support. Immunization Records are to be reported on the Toronto Public Health website by the parents at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/immunization/get-immunized-children-youth/report-student-immunization/.
Once fully registered, St. James CS will be hosting a Welcome to Kindergarten Night on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 6:00 pm wherein teachers and staff alike will discuss the Kindergarten curriculum and get our preschoolers excited for their first day of school with our St. James family.
Applications to register children in grades other than Kindergarten can also be completed on the online S.O.A.R. application.
