Kindergarten registration takes place mid-February each year. A child may be registered to attend Kindergarten in September if his or her fifth birthday occurs on or before December 31st of the current year.
The online registration module is now closed. To register your child for Kindergarten for the 2021/2022 school year, please send in one email the registration form and required documents listed below to your catchment area school. For verification of your catchment area school, please check the School Locator.
Registration form is available here. *Note: This form is fillable. Please print and sign this form if you do not have a digital signature.
The following documents are required for registration:
- Proof of birth date for the student (birth certificate or passport)
- Proof of citizenship for both the parent and the student (Canadian birth certificate, citizenship card, passport, landed immigrant document, permanent resident card)
- BC Services Card (please include both sides of this card)
- Proof of Residency (Property Taxes – current receipt, purchase/rental agreement or rental receipt)
Please ensure that all documents included with your child’s registration are legible. Incomplete information and documents will delay the registration process.
Your catchment area school will process your child’s registration as soon as possible. Once your child has been accepted at their catchment area school, office staff will follow up with parents regarding additional information that is needed. Parents should be aware that students may be required to attend a school outside of their usual attendance area if class enrolments exceed 20.
Parents/Guardians of Early French Immersion applicants will be notified by Tuesday, February 9, 2021 if they have been accepted into the program, and what school they should register for. If your child has been placed on a waitlist, please register for your catchment area school to ensure a placement.
If a parent wishes for a child to attend a school other than their catchment area school, an online non-catchment application form must be completed. Non-catchment applications will be accepted online only commencing February 1, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. Applications received prior to March 5, 2021 will receive priority in their respective category. Approvals will be processed as soon as possible, but may be held until the second week of September, therefore, parents should register their child for their catchment area school to ensure a placement. Schools will hold non-catchment forms until approved by the Assistant Superintendents’ Office.
