Although schools are closed in July and the first three weeks of August, the Halton District School Board is offering families of elementary students the opportunity to register their child(ren) for school this summer for the start of school in September. Registering at this time helps the Board prepare for the upcoming school year and provides students more time to become familiar with their new school.
