Kindergarten Registration Deadline Jan 31

The deadline is approaching for first round priority registration for Kindergarten at A.R. Lord Elementary for students starting school in September 2020. Registration is open to children who turn five years of age by December 31 in the same calendar year that they begin school.

What is the application process for kindergarten? And what documents are required?All registrations are a 2 step process and your application is not considered complete until both steps have been completed.

1. Complete an Online Application -  Kindergarten Registration Page
2. Take supporting original documentation to your English catchment school so that student information can be verified.

• Required Documentation:
  1. Proof of address in Vancouver (recent property tax statement, purchase agreement, or rental agreement plus at least one recent bill invoice showing name and address)
  2. Child’s proof of identify (birth certificate or Canadian immigration or citizenship documents)
  3. Proof of parent/guardian identity (picture ID such as passport, drivers licence, citizenship card)
  4. Original school report cards with certified translation in English if needed from two most recent school years
  5. Child’s immunization records since birth and, if necessary, any other important health documents

[Note: Schools experiencing enrolment pressure will request additional identification as proof of residency.] Students applying for registration between November 1 and the end of January will be given enrolment priority over those who apply later. Should there be more applicants than available space in any program at the end of January, a draw will be held.
