Registration K-5 at King Traditional Elementary

Are you interested in registering your child at King Traditional Elementary?

The following information outlines the registration process for students wishing to attend our school in the 2025/2026 school year.  Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions.  We are here to help!

For families interested in Kindergarten:

Step 1:  Register at your catchment school

The first thing that you need to do is register at your catchment school! Kindergarten registration at your local school can happen as of Monday, January 20th, 2025 across the district. Applicants to King will not be considered until you have fully registered at your catchment school.  To find out what catchment school is near your house, check out the SD34 catchment/school locator found on the District website.  Information on how to register can also be found on our District Website:  abbyschools.ca/kindergarten.  Call us if you need any help!

Step 2: Apply to the district program lottery

The Lottery for District Programs will open at 8 am on Monday, January 27th and close at 4 pm on Friday, January 31st.  The link to the Lottery registration can be found on the District Website during these dates.  The lottery is not a first come first serve system, but rather a random draw.  The names of successful candidates drawn will be given to the school, and then contacted based on the number of spots available.

Step 3:  If selected by the district program lottery:

You will be contacted and asked to come to King and receive a registration package to complete.  Our office staff will be happy to walk you through the application process and explain what supporting documents are needed.

When will I hear by? 
The whole process usually takes 2-4 weeks. We will reach out and contact you as soon as we receive our successful lottery names from the district.  If you have not heard in this timeframe and would like an update, please feel free to call our office.
 

For families interested in joining us for all grades (1-5):

Registering for a grade other than Kindergarten? 

We track those families who are interested in joining us via a link that refreshes every January.  We have currently taken this form down.  If you would like to enroll at King for the 2025/2026 school year, just give our office a call!

Grade 1-5 applications are processed in the order we receive them. 

All spots are given to families as space becomes available using district priority rules. Priority is given to siblings of current students (to keep families together) and then all other students in the district on a first-come first-served basis.  

If you are interested in a grade that is full, we will place your child on our waitlist and contact you as soon as a spot becomes available.  

If you are experiencing trouble or have any questions, please contact our office and we can help.

Please note that the waitlist resets every year in January when the next waitlist link comes out!
