Registering here

Renting near Ernest C Drury School for the Deaf (Secondary) does not assign a child to it: the attendance area belongs to Provincial and Demonstration Schools, it changes, and placement depends on programme, grade and capacity. This school teaches 9-12, so confirm the grade you need is offered at the address you are considering. Before- and after-school care is run separately from the school day — the licensed facilities listed above are the operators to contact directly.
