Student Registration

2012 – 2013 School Year

These procedures for registration and transfer requests are in effect for the 2012/2013 school year. Priorities for student placement are dependent upon place of residence as well as meeting registration and transfer deadlines. At this point in time (after March 9, 2012) placements are dependent on the available space, facilities, resources or the appropriate educational program required to meet the student's needs and your place of residence. Please refer to School Catchment Areas to determine the school catchment area for your place of residence.
