Returning Student Registration

Requesting to attend a non-designated school?
Students new to the Division enrolling in kindergarten to Grade 12 can request to attend a non-designated school by indicating their preference on the applicable New Student Registration Form. Acceptance is based on available space. Schools with closed boundaries will not accept registrations (kindergarten to Grade 12) from non-designated students.
If you don't live within Elk Island Public Schools boundaries but are interested in registering at one of the Division schools, refer to the Non-Resident Student Registration page.
