How do I register for Kindergarten?

 

1.  Enter your primary home address into our School Locator portal to determine your neighbourhood catchment school. Families must register first with their neighbourhood catchment school, regardless of where they may want to send their child.

2.  Choose one of the below registration options for 2022. Regardless of the chosen registration method, all families will be required to provide identification documents to satisfy proof of age and proof of address, etc. School staff will book appointments for verification purposes. Please provide an accurate email address and phone number for parent/guardian contact.

  • Online Registration (requires a computer, not a cell phone) - link opens January 31 at 8 am. A Parent Guide is available for new families or returning families using this software;

  • Fillable PDF form (download before you fill in) you can complete and email to your neighbourhood catchment school; or
  • Printed Registration form that can be completed and will require you to book an appointment to submit the paperwork with your neighbourhood catchment school.

3.  If both parents are not a Canadian Citizen (even if your child was born in Canada), Luella.Johnsen [at] abbyschools.ca (subject: Kindergarten%20Registration%20-%20New%20to%20Canada) (set up an appointment with the School Board office) to complete initial registration. Call (604) 859-4891 to make your appointment.

4.  If one or both parents are Canadian Citizens (even if your child was born outside of Canada), complete the registration process as noted in #2 above.

Registration will be considered complete when a parent/guardian has provided the required supporting documents (proof of address, birth certificate etc.) along with a fully completed Student Registration form. Submission of these documents may be through the online registration portal, or by submitting registration documents via email, fax, pre-arranged school drop-off, or at a pre-scheduled appointment with your neighbourhood catchment school.

Families with children already registered in the school district will be able to provide their identification documents electronically, instead of in person. Families new to our school district may complete and submit their registration documents electronically, but they must book an appointment to provide original supporting documents in person. Once registration is received and complete, parents/guardians will receive a welcome email and instructions on additional required documents.

 

Documents Required for Registering
 

Proof of age of the child by BIRTH CERTIFICATE is required for all new student registrations (schools will make a photo copy). To ensure the child being registered qualifies for Ministry of Education funding, the biological parents/legal guardians’ status and the biological parents/legal guardians’ residency need to be established. Schools may register the child providing the following are established:

1. At least one biological parent/legal guardian is a Canadian Citizen by birth or naturalized (obtained citizenship) and they can support this with the following pieces of identification:

  • Parent’s Canadian Citizenship Card; 
  • Parent’s Canadian Birth Certificate; and 
  • Parent’s Canadian Passport.

2. The biological parent/legal guardian must provide proof of residency, and provide ONE of the following:

  • Utility bill
  • Mortgage document
  • Property Sale Agreement
  • Property Tax Notice/Assessment
  • Home Insurance
  • Rental or Lease Agreement

3. In addition ONE or more of the following documents containing the name and address of the parent/guardian is required:

  • Government document (eg. MSP bill)
  • Child Tax Credit
  • Income Tax Assessment
  • Vehicle Insurance
  • Most Recent T4

4. You will also need to provide your child's CareCard (if not enrolled in MSP, please provide private medical insurance  documents for field trip purposes)
 
5. If applicable, please provide a copy of your child's Immunization Record

 

IMPORTANT: A registration will be considered complete when a parent/guardian has provided the required supporting documents along with a fully completed AP336-1 registration form.

**Please make sure you have all the required documents before submitting. Only COMPLETE packages with ALL required documents will be eligible for registration.**

 

What if I want to apply to a school in a different neighbourhood catchment?

If you are interested in having your child attend a school that is not your catchment school, you will need to apply through the out of catchment form (AP 336-3). Applications will be received by the requested school beginning February 7, 2022. Out-of-catchment applications will only be considered once all catchment students have been accommodated. An application does not guarantee acceptance.

Where can I get more information or help if I run into any difficulties?

For further assistance with the registration process or the online District program application process, contact your neighbourhood catchment school. They will be happy to assist you!
