Procedures & Forms
School Start-Up Forms
Dear Parents/Guardians,
At the start of each school year, schools share with families a package of information about the school. Please ensure you review this important information. Families are also encouraged to review the online Guide to the School Year.
We also ask families to complete some important forms. These forms are now available online. Please complete and submit these online School Start-Up Forms through your child’s YRDSB Google account. Translations are available.
You can access your child's YRDSB Google account via a web browser. For best results, use a computer rather than a mobile phone.
The username is your child's YRDSB Student Number. Your child will receive their login information from the school at the start of the year. If you or your child do not know the password to log in to their Google account, please contact your child's teacher or the school office.
Frequently asked questions and additional information on how to complete the forms are available on the Board website under Family Resources (click on the “Need Help” link for Family Start-Up Forms.
It is important that these forms are completed as soon as possible at the start of the school year. There are both mandatory and optional forms. The forms are to be completed for all students. Your child's school will access the information.
Please complete a separate form for each child attending our schools. Secondary school students will also be asked to review important school and Board policies and to indicate that they have reviewed this information on forms sent to their student GAPPS account.
If you prefer to complete the forms on paper or have questions about the information in the forms, please contact your school office.
Thank you.
