Register for School

Welcome returning and new students! Thank you for choosing Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB). We look forward to seeing you again, or for the first time, in HPEDSB schools.

Before beginning registration, visit the website of our transportation partner Tri-Board Student Transportation Services to verify the school your child will attend. This will be your child's home school.
