Student Timetables

2025-26 timetables were sent to students prior to the first day of school via their student HDSB email addresses. Please note that timetables are tentative until a semester begins. Placement of courses in a student's timetable may change before a semester begins. This is also in effect for Semester 2.

Accessing your child's timetable

Student Timetables and attendance are accessible through the Parent Portal. The student's Halton Student Number and birthday is required to access this information. Halton Student Numbers are located on the Student ID Card.

Go to the TAB website: hdsb.ca/tab
Select the Parents tab
Select Check Your Child's Attendance
Enter Halton Student Number and Birthdate

NOTE: Parents may access their son/daughter’s course history/credit history via www.myblueprint.ca/halton

Course Selection Information

Forms

The Student Declaration for External Course Registration form must be completed by HDSB students registering for a course through an external provider. It ensures the credit is eligible for inclusion on their Ontario Student Transcript and outlines important responsibilities and deadlines for students, families, and schools.
The eLearning opt out form form allows parents/guardians or eligible students to formally opt out of the Ontario eLearning graduation requirement, which mandates two online course credits as part of the OSSD.
