Registration

 

Grade 8 Students  

Normally, students in grade 8 register for grade 9 with the assistance of the principal and staff of the grade 8 school. Course Calendar, course selections sheets and other materials are delivered to the grade 8 schools that belong to the W-O family of schools.

 

Other Students  

New families to the area - It is important that you ensure that you are residing in the W-O area. Those who live in rural areas must provide: county name, township name, lot & concession numbers. Students residing in certain parts of Perth County or Oxford County normally attend Waterloo-Oxford D.S.S. You may wish to talk to staff at the appropriate school board. Links to our local school boards are listed on the On-Line Community Resources page.

 

Students who have moved into the Waterloo-Oxford area and who wish to register at W-O are required to call the school and book an appointment with the appropriate vice-principal. The vice-principal will verify whether you reside within the W-O boundaries. Once the vice-principal has approved the student for registration, the student will usually see a counsellor for selection of courses, timetable and so on. Contact: (519) 634-5441 or 1-800-267-1755 (within area code 519).

 

Changing schools may affect your Athletic Eligibility so check out the rules and regulations for the Waterloo County Secondary Schools Athletics Association (WCSSAA).
