Changing Schools: Current Students
If you are currently registered and attending any ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ school, we already have a lot of your information on file! This means you do not have to complete the online registration. Please contact your child’s current school to let them know your child will be transferring to another ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ school, and they will guide you on what comes next.
Going to Secondary? You’re All Set!
Grade 8 students who are currently attending a ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ school do not need to complete the online registration. Please talk to your elementary school principal about your transition to secondary school. You can also check out our Make the Move to High School Guide!
