To ensure the safety of our students and staff, we ask that you please do not visit schools directly to register unless you have made prior arrangements.​

​Step 1: Use our School Locator tool to determine your catchment school.

To use our School Locator tool; simply type in your street name and follow the instructions.

Step 2:  Download the Student Registration Form (PDF) on your device.

It is recommended that you complete the registration form using a computer (PC or Mac). Mobile phone, iPad or tablet is not recommended.

​If you are unable to complete the registration form on a computer, please contact your catchment school to pick up a paper copy of the form.

​​Step 3: Complete the Student Registration Form. 

Save it on your device as "Student Reg for [Name of Child]"
​

Step 4: Prepare the required verification documents for registration.

Families have the option of sending scans/photos of all required verification documents. 

If a school receives all of the required verification documents, there will be no need for families to visit the school in person to have their documents verified.  Schools may still need to request an in-person appointment if the verification documents are incomplete or inaccurate. 

If you choose not to email your verification documents, you will be contacted by the school to schedule a time for you to bring in the required documents for verification.​
