Register for Kindergarten!
Getting started at DSBN is as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Create Your Parent/Guardian Account
Aspen is a secure online portal used by DSBN families to register children for school.
2. Register Your Child
You will need a computer. Please contact the school if you need access to a device. Once your Aspen account is set up, you can log in to register your child and submit the required information.
3. Submit Your Documents
Upload your documents in Aspen during registration, or share them with your home school before classes begin. This step helps confirm your child’s eligibility and ensures a smooth start to the school year. Uploading proof of address documentation early can help expedite transportation arrangements.
DSBN Kindergarten Registration
Registering now can make September feel that much smoother. Contact your home school if you need support!
Registering early helps your child’s school and educators prepare for their arrival. It gives staff time to plan, organize classrooms, and ensure the right supports are in place. We work with you to create a smooth and welcoming transition so your child feels ready and confident on their first day.

Let’s register for Kindergarten!
You can register your child even if you are still gathering documents. The following items will need to be submitted to your child’s school to finalize registration:
Supporting Documents
- Proof of student age: birth certificate, passport details page, baptismal certificate, etc.
- Proof of address in Niagara: utility bills such as hydro, water or cable; a tax bill or a rental agreement (Note: a driver’s license is not considered proof of address).
- Family contact information: physical address, work and home phone numbers, email, etc.
- Emergency contact information: which you have consent to share with DSBN (addresses, phone numbers, etc. for emergency contacts).
Immunization Requirements
The Ministry of Education requires that every student has a complete and up-to-date immunization record on file with their local health unit to attend school. Contact Niagara Region Public Health to check that your child’s immunization records are up-to-date.

For the best experience, complete your registration on a computer. Aspen may not display or function correctly on mobile devices.
