As students make plans for the next school year, there are many resources below to help consider program options on offer in the District.
Register in February in advance of the next school year if your student:
- is starting Kindergarten next Fall
- will be new (all grades) to the District next Fall
Apply in February in advance of the next school year to be considered for priority placement for next Fall if your student:
- would like to apply to French Immersion, Mandarin Language Arts or any of the other Secondary and Elementary Programs of Choice (deadlines vary)
- wants to attend another school other than their home school (cross-district transfer)
