The following is the process to request registration for out-of-boundary schools:

• Register at the home school (as identified through Find a School @kprschools.ca)
  
  
• Complete and submit the form to the boundary (home school) principal prior to January 31st or April 30th of any given school year.
  
  
• The boundary principal will complete an initial review of the request and consult with the out-of-boundary principal, taking into consideration:  

• •  current and projected school registrations,  
  •  available capacity in the school,  
  •  number of transfer requests received,  
  •  staffing considerations and class size restrictions, and
  •  the unique circumstances of each student transfer request. 

After review of initial requests by school principals, considering the factors above, the Family of Schools superintendent will provide the final sign off to approve or deny a student transfer request. 

• Boundary students have priority placement in the school.
  
  
• Decisions for requests received prior to January 31st will be communicated in
  writing in April.
  
  
• Families who submit requests after January 31st will have decisions
  communicated to them no later than the second week of school in September.

Request forms are not required for subsequent years; however, it is important to note that student transfers are reviewed annually. If conditions change, approval may need to be withdrawn at some point. 

It is important that families understand that while there may be space  in the out-of-boundary elementary school, there may not be space in the  out-of-boundary secondary school. Students may need to attend the home/ boundary school at the secondary level, depending on space availability.   

For approved requests, the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) is responsible for transportation.

Siblings are not automatically entitled to attend the out-of-boundary school that their sibling is attending. They are required to complete a student transfer request if they wish to attend the out-of-boundary school. 

Junior Kindergarten students will not be automatically accepted into a French Immersion school that is not their home school. They will be required to register at their home school and complete a student transfer request form to attend the out-of-boundary school. 

If a student withdraws from a specialized program (such as French Immersion) outside of their home school – they are now considered to be out-of-boundary and are required to complete a student transfer request to determine eligibility to remain at the school.
