As previously reported, School District #43 (Coquitlam) completed an annual district-wide catchment boundary review. As part of the review process, it was determined that adjustments would be beneficial to the catchment areas pertaining to Moody Elementary School, Mountain Meadows Elementary, and Eagle Ridge Elementary Schools. The new Moody Elementary School is being relocated further east along St. Johns Street. There is increased densification occurring in Port Moody, specifically in the current catchment area of Moody Elementary School. The increased densification will impact capacity at Moody Elementary in the short, medium, and long term. Eagle Ridge Elementary is going to experience enrolment pressure in the medium and long term as development occurs in the Coronation neighbourhood. Furthermore, the two catchment areas East of Eagle Ridge Elementary (Walton and Glen) are also experiencing continued growth from densification, which will likely add pressure on the capacity of Eagle Ridge Elementary. Mountain Meadows Elementary is currently experiencing declining enrolment and this change in catchment areas will ensure that the school continues to be a viable learning space for students. Mountain Meadows Elementary has short, medium, and long term capacity to accept more students. Therefore, these catchment area changes will better accommodate the growth in the area.
The highlighted section on the map below indicates the new catchment areas for Moody Elementary, Mountain Meadows Elementary, and Eagle Ridge Elementary. The Boundary Review Process involved identification of potential changes, sharing information regarding these proposed changes with partner groups, staff, families, and childcare centers at the potentially impacted schools, and receiving feedback on the proposed changes through an on-line survey.
Upon analysis and evaluation of the feedback provided, the district will be moving forward with the new catchment changes. The changes will be in place prior to school registration for the 2026/2027 school year. Please note that this change only applies to new students who move into the catchments or those starting Kindergarten in the 2026/2027 school year. Current students at Moody Elementary, Eagle Ridge Elementary, or Mountain Meadows Elementary are not affected by the new catchment changes.
