Do you have a child who will start kindergarten in September 2024?
Registration for kindergarten and the District’s two programs of choice (French Immersion or Outdoor Learning) will open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, and remain open throughout the school year. We are excited to welcome you and your child to School District No. 83 (North Okanagan-Shuswap)!
All kindergarten registrations completed on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, are treated as equal, eliminating the need for line-ups on that day. Registrations received after January 17, 2024, will be date/time stamped and processed on a first-come, first-served basis. This information will be used to determine placement IF catchment area schools or programs of choice reach full capacity. Priority will be given to students with siblings already registered in a program of choice (French Immersion or Outdoor Learning) if space is limited.
Parents interested in the Early French Immersion program at Bastion Elementary, please register at Bastion and contact Megan Weir at mweir@sd83.bc.ca for any information.
For inquiries related to the South Canoe Outdoor Learning Program, please contact Sandra Major at (250) 832-3122.
Registration must be completed at your child’s catchment school, determined by your physical address, or at a specialty school such as Bastion for Early French Immersion or South Canoe for Outdoor Learning. To access our catchment school locator tool or find more information about our specialty schools, please click here.
Online registration is also available. To register online, please contact the school you are registering at for their link.
