Kindergarten Registration will begin February 1, 2025 and it will be an on-line process. French applications and cross district applications must be in by February 28th. All forms can be accessed via the Burnaby School District website https://burnabyschools.ca/registration/. French Applications are not first come, first serve. They are put into categories to determine which students get a spot in the program.
Once you register at your home catchment, if you would like to register your child for French, you will need to fill out a District Language Application Form which is separate from the On-line Preliminary Registration form.
English applications can be submitted from February 1st onward.
