The office is open for registration year-round, except for a short period from late June until mid-July. Many new families arrive during the summer, so if you are registering during this time, please make an appointment as early as possible.
Interpreters are available to assist at this appointment. We have more than 132 interpreters who provide interpretation and translation support in 41 languages. There is no cost to families for language interpretation services.
If necessary, an English language assessment will be done to determine your child’s English skills. This assessment may take two hours to complete.

Your child’s school can appropriately support your child’s English language learning needs based on the results of the assessment.
