Hi members,
I have a question regarding elementary schooling in Ontario. My kids are 3 years and a few days apart but their birthdays fall on the opposite sides of the school cutoff date of 31st Dec. Based on their age, I want to keep them 3 grades apart but so far it seems that it may not be possible in the public school system. In particular, my son will turn 4 in the first week of January 2021 and hence my school board is unwilling to consider him for admission into Jr. Kindergarten this fall. I wanted to check with people familiar with schooling in the region regarding if there is any avenue that I can pursue in order to ensure that my son gets admitted into Jr. Kindergarten this fall.
Thanks in advance.
