How to Register

Elementary online registration is now open!

Online Registration (Edsby) is open beginning May 11 to August 26, 2022

NOTE: use of a laptop or desktop is highly recommended over a mobile device.

1. Use your existing Edsby parent account to register online.
2. If you do not have an Edsby account, create a new account first, then register online. Please also see our step-by-step registration instructions.
3. Please have your credit card (Visa/MasterCard) or PayPal account ready. If paying by credit card, you will see a transaction charge of $10.00 called YRDSB LANG on your billing statement.
4. Select the language course, date, time and location.
5. You will be required to provide your child's OEN (Ontario Education Number) as part of the registration. This number is located on your child's report card. For students who are not current YRDSB day school students, this number is not required.
6. IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
   • Please print the "Registration Submitted" page for your records.
   • You will receive two email confirmations:
     1. one from Edsby confirming the registration was submitted
     2. one from PayPal with your payment details

Non-YRDSB students, please note:

Our office staff may contact you to confirm your enrolment for new students to the Indigenous Languages and International Languages program. At that time you will be required to provide proof of status in Canada:

• Canadian citizens require one original citizenship/immigration document.
• Other citizenships require two citizenship/immigration documents.

The date and time of the first class will be available through the Elementary Site Calendars. All students will be placed into age appropriate classes (day school grade) regardless of level of language fluency; teachers will differentiate instruction based on student needs. This will mean that, depending on enrolment,  language classes may have a variety of grades represented in each class.

A printable list of language course offerings is available.

Accessing the Google Classroom

For YRDSB students, a Google Classroom invitation link will be sent directly to the student’s @gapps.yrdsb.ca email address. 

For non-YRDSB students, a call (from Private Number/No Caller ID) will be made to the parent/guardian listed on this form to provide sensitive information. Once you have received the student log in credentials, complete the following:

Using a PC or a MAC 

1. Sign out of all other Google accounts, either from your home school board or personal accounts. 
2. Open Chrome and select ‘Incognito Window” from the menu at the right hand side of the screen (where there are three dots in a row) 
3. In your Incognito window, go to https://classroom.google.com When prompted, select “Go to Classroom” 
4. When presented with the Google Login form, enter your 9 digit YRDSB student number and @gapps.yrdsb.ca (i.e. 123456789@gapps.yrdsb.ca) 
5. On the next login screen, which will have the YRDSB logo, please enter the student number only and the password that was provided (i.e. 123456789 & password) 
6. When prompted, accept any Google conditions. 
7. You are now logged in. Look for the plus sign in the top right corner, and use the Google Classroom code.

Issues with Finding the Student’s Google Classroom

If a Google Classroom code was not provided, please use the student’s @gapps.yrdsb.ca Gmail account of an email containing the Google Classroom invite

If you have any questions regarding the program (e.g., Google Classroom invitation links, class times, etc.), please contact ILIL@yrdsb.ca.

These programs will be offered subject to student enrollment and teacher/instructor availability. York Region District School Board reserves the right to cancel any program due to low enrollment and/or teacher/instructor availability.
