Yes, SAHM = Stay-at-home mom. I'm working and so I'm still undecided on public school. Castlemore PS only have alternate days JK and I don't know what to do with the other days when my son is not in school.
Anniese/3kidsmom,
Not to worry. As far as I understand, your home school should take you unless there's no space. It's on a first come first serve basis (to boundary residents). Say, I registered my son to Castlemore JK on Feb 1st - the first day of registration. If you only apply it now (i.e. Feb 25), they may not have a space for you and they may bus your kid to another nearby school.
the point is, if u a not w/i, no chance to register. till now, i only heard 1 case like that....stonebridge got 700 students.....may not be that super bad luck !!

about stonebridge, not all bur oak resident can register as there's a small square at bur oak/ east of kennedy that are not within this school zone (should at up to glenbrook only).....
last yr, a mom moved into stonebridge zone at buroak, but the school refuse the enrolment because of "no space".....then, i just learnt that, under certain circumstance, school may refuse new student and assign them to other closer school!! (heard the above from an interest class teacher)

Which school will your little son go to? I've registered my son to Castlemore PS. But I'm still undecided whether to go to Public School or private Montessori School... Are you a SAHM or working mom?
yes, I know Castlemore is a good PS, but seems it's not within the Kennedy/Buroak boundary? I am not sure, have to search first. I check on the mls website, there is not much listing around that area, really depends on luck.
Thanks aka414, will ask him to take a look of the websites u provided.
I've been living in the Markham (Kennedy & Bur Oak) area for more than 6 years. It's a very nice neighbourhood... don't worry.
Regarding your daughter going to school... my son will be attending JK this coming Sept. Kids only go to kindergarten when they are 4. I believe there's 2 public schools (Castlemore PS or Stonebridge PS) in the area and 1 catholic school (All Saints Catholic). They all have good reputation and you can check out the reports from Fraser Institute for more details. Alternatively, a lot of parents here register their kids in Montessori school until they are old enough to enter Grade 1 in public school.
My husband is an IT guy (programmer). He has no microsoft certification (he hates Microsoft stuff to be exact ); however, he doesn't have any problems looking for jobs here. So don't worry too much. I'd suggest your husband post his resume on workopolis.com or monster.ca and recruiters do search candidates from these job boards! Hope this helps!
