Students currently attending schools in the NVSD are not required to apply annually to continue their registration in their current school, or to transition to secondary school based on the Family of Schools model.

The effective date of registration is entered when all required documentation has been received. A registration without all the required documents will be pending until all the required documents are submitted.

Placement confirmation and information will be communicated through email or phone from the assigned school. Students registered during initial registration will receive notice of placement by the end of May. Students registered after initial registration will receive notice of placement at the end of August of the upcoming school year.

Placement categories for students in the full-day English program:

• Category 1 – In catchment area with sibling already attending same school
• Category 2 – In catchment area
• Category 3 – Out of catchment area with sibling already attending same school/program
• Category 4 – Out of catchment
• Category 5 – Out of district

 

The NVSD embraces a Family of Schools (FoS) model. Each "family" is comprised of a secondary school with its surrounding elementary schools. The purpose of this model is to build and maintain a positive community within secondary school neighbourhoods, enhance staff collaboration, and optimize student support.

Visit the Family of Schools web page for more information.

Registration for the current school year continues to be available. Students will be placed based on available space, facilities, resources, or the appropriate educational program required to meet the student’s needs and your place of residence. Registration for the following school year begins in January.
