Student Registration/ Transfer Requests 2014 – 2015 School Year New Registrations Grade 1 - 12 All children new to North Vancouver (not currently attending a North Vancouver School District school), must register at Central Registration beginning January 20, 2014. Registration deadline for priority placement is March 7, 2014. All registrations require the student’s original birth certificate, (if not born in Canada, bring proof of citizenship, passport and Permanent Resident Card), proof of current residence at the date of application, (BC Hydro bill, Purchase agreement, or if Tenancy agreement, to also include a letter from the landlord and a copy of the landlord’s Hydro Bill). A copy of the report card from the previous school is also required. Late French Immersion – Grade 6 entry Late French Immersion is designed for non-French speaking students. Following two years in Grade 6 and 7 at the elementary level, Late French Immersion students complete their bilingual program with their peers from the Early French Immersion program at a secondary French Immersion school. A Late French Immersion Parent Information meeting will be held January 29, 2014, 7:00 p.m. at the ESC located at 2121 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver. Registration for Late French Immersion will begin on January 20, 2014. Registration deadline is March 7, 2014. Transfer Requests Students requesting a transfer from one North Vancouver school to another North Vancouver school must submit a Transfer Request Form between January 20, 2014 and March 7, 2014 for priority placement. This form will be available at all school offices, this website and Central Registration as of January 2014. All transfer forms must be submitted in person to the Central Registration Office. Please bring proof of new address. Following March 7, 2014, no further transfer requests will be accepted unless the student has moved into the requested catchment area. Continuing Students Students currently attending schools in North Vancouver are not required to apply annually to continue their registration in their current school. Grade 7 to 8 Transfer Requests Grade 7 students who would like to attend a secondary school other than their designated feeder school (see below), must complete a transfer form and submit it to the Central Registration office prior to March 7, 2014. Placement will depend on space and facilities availability. For example, if a student attends the Grade 7 French Immersion program at Larson Elementary School they would automatically feed into the Grade 8 French Immersion program at Argyle Secondary School. If the student wanted to attend Carson Graham Secondary School because it was their catchment secondary school (English program) they would have to submit a Transfer Request form before the March 7, 2014 deadline.
