Kindergarten Registration Starts November 1st
The Vancouver School Board is implementing new registration procedures for the 2010-11 school year. Applications for all Kindergarten programs will be accepted at schools between November 1st and January 31st.
If by January 31st there are more applications received than the school can accommodate a lottery will be held to determine which students will be accepted. Students not selected from the draw will be added to a waitlist.
All families who submit a Kindergarten application prior to January 31, 2010 will be given notification of the school their child will be attending by March 31st. This includes waitlisted students who were unable to be accommodated in their home school as a result of the lottery process.
Applications received after January 31 will not be considered until all in-catchment students, who submitted an application prior to January 31, have been placed. Late applicants, including siblings of in-catchment students already enrolled in the school, will be added to the end of the school’s waitlist. Late in-catchment sibling applicants will be given priority over other late in-catchment applicants. This new process will replace the previous first-come, first-served procedure.
Students eligible for Kindergarten in the 2010-11 school year are those children who were born in 2005.
