Grade 8 Registration Process
Elementary schools will receive the Grade 8 Registration forms by February 3, 2012 and will distribute them to their grade 7 students. Students will take home the forms to discuss with parents. Students indicate their choice of secondary school and one option from the course selection section and have their parent/guardian sign the form. Registration forms will be returned to the elementary school office no later than February 24.
Elementary schools will be notified of student placements on March 7, 2012.

Movement between schools (i.e. families changing their minds) after the February 29 deadline requires a transfer application, as staffing for schools is established based upon registrations as of the February 29 date. Transfer forms for this are available at the secondary schools. Building space and available staffing limit this process. See student transfer guidelines below:
Acceptance Criteria for prioritizing placement
IN catchment
OUT of catchment with siblings
OUT of catchment without siblings
OUT of district with siblings
OUT of district without siblings
Please Note
The information system used to register all students does not accept students in more than one school. If students attempt to register in more than one school, the system will default back to their catchment school.
Student Transfers
Grade 7 students and their parents, wishing to transfer schools need to complete a Secondary School Transfer form avaiable from the secondary school where they are enrolled. The form needs to be completed by a parent or guardian and returned to the school office. For grade 7’s only, a review of transfer requests will be determined on May 18, 2012.
