Kindergarten Registration

The Langley School District welcomes new kindergarten students to our schools. Our teachers and staff are excited to meet your family. All children who will be five years old by December 31, 2023 (children born in 2018) are eligible for the Kindergarten program beginning September 5, 2023. Registration for Kindergarten will begin on the third Monday in January of the year for which the child is eligible. This year registration begins on Monday, January 16, 2023.

If you still need to register for the 2022-2023 school year, please contact your catchment school. 

If you require translation assistance to help with registration, the District’s Settlement Workers in Schools department will be offering presentations in multiple languages. See information here.

Please review the following information outlining documents needed and instructions to help register new learners. To find your child’s catchment school, use our school locator tool here.

It is important to note, children who have been accepted into Kindergarten entry at a District Choice Program for the 2023-2024 school year do not need to register at their catchment school.

If you have any general questions about kindergarten registration, please contact your catchment school or the District by emailing feedback@sd35.bc.ca.

You will need to produce the following documents:

• Proof of age (Birth Certificate)
• Proof of Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status for both student and parent (Canadian Birth Certificate, Canadian Passport, Canadian Citizenship Card, Landed Immigrant documentation, Permanent Resident documentation/cards)
• Proof of residence (mortgage papers, Property Tax Notice, BC Driver’s Licence, Photo BC Services Card, subject-free purchase agreement [less than 6 month move-in date], utility bill)
• Current vaccination records* (school does not retain a copy)
• Registration Form (also available at child’s school)

You will need to do the following:

1. Complete registration form (attached fillable pdf) and have documents ready. See above checklist. To ensure accuracy, filling out the form electronically is preferred over handwritten submissions.
2. Submit documents online via email to the school.  Please visit your school’s website for specific instructions.
3. If you require additional support, contact your catchment school to seek help with accommodating your needs.

If you have arrived in Canada with a work permit, study permit or visitor record, you will need to contact the School District Office at:

*Helpful resources regarding vaccination records from Immunize BC:

I don’t know if my child has been vaccinated – how can I find out?

I don’t have my child’s immunization record – how do I get a copy?
