This year at Centre Dufferin had a registration day for all students on Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Students who missed registration day will still be expected to pay a student registration fee of $45.00. This fee covers some of the costs of many activities, sports, your student/Library card and a 2010-2011 yearbook. Students will still need to hand in your signed enrollment form, pay your registration fee, get your picture taken on picture re-take day, receive your timetable and also choose your locker. (Grade 9 lockers are pre-assigned.) If there is a financial concern about registration fees please contact the principal Ms. Deidre Wilson at 519-925-3834, ext 201 or via email at deidre.wilson@ugdsb.on.ca to discuss an alternative plan.
