Grade 8 Registration Information:

Grade 8 Transfer Period Information 2025/26
For parents of Grade 7 students going into Grade 8

To provide an optimal learning environment for all students, the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42 (SD42) must manage enrolment across all schools, ensuring that enrolment numbers match building capacity.

“Where space and facility is determined to be available,” the school district has an open boundary policy that allows flexibility in choice regarding which secondary school students may attend (School Act section 74.1 Section 6). Due to increasing enrolment in recent years, however, the majority of students are assigned to their catchment school. All our high schools meet the needs of all learners.

1 ONLINE REGISTRATION
Registration takes place on the Parent Portal (https://parents.sd42.ca).In-District Students: Families with children currently enrolled in a Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) elementary school should submit an Existing Student Transfer Request in the Grade 8 Transfer Period.

Out-of-District Students: Families with children currently enrolled in an elementary school outside of the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) should submit a New Student Registration in the Grade 8 Transfer Period.

2 DETERMINING CATCHMENT SCHOOL

The registration form will automatically populate with your child’s secondary catchment school based on the residential address on file with your child’s elementary school. You can also find your child’s secondary catchment school using the school locator tool, which can be found here: http://www.sd42.ca/school-locator/.

  • New development areas may not show accurate results. Please confirm with your child’s elementary school if necessary.
  • If the address you register on the portal does not match what is on file, proof of change of address will be required. Rental agreements are not accepted as proof of address.
3 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The size of the school facility may limit the number of out-of-catchment registrations that can be accommodated. The school district will accommodate catchment registrations first, then attempt to accommodate sibling out-of-catchment registrations. Sibling placement cannot be guaranteed, however. Our acceptance criteria are as follows:

  1. In-catchment area students who, in the previous year, attended the school;
  2. In-catchment area students who, in the previous year, were placed by the district in a different school due to a lack of space
  3. Siblings of in-catchment area students (grades 8 to 11);
  4. New in-catchment area students;
  5. Siblings of out-of-catchment area students enrolled in the school (grades 8 to 11);
  6. Out-of-catchment area students currently attending an SD42 school;
  7. Out-of-district students.
4 ONLINE REGISTRATION

Online registration OPENS at noon, Tuesday, February 11, 2025. Deadline for completing a request for the Grade 8 Transfer Period is 11:59 pm, Tuesday, February 25, 2025. If you do not register by the online registration deadline, you will need to complete a request under the Enrolment Requests – New; Transfer; Withdraw (2025/2026) school year. See information under following tab, Transfer requests (K-12), including late Grade 8 registration.

Grade 8 students who did not register during the Feb 11 – 25 registration period will be able to register on the Parent Portal starting noon, Wednesday, March 12, 2025, in the early enrolment period for the 2025/26 school year.

5 PLACEMENT NOTIFICATION
Parents/guardians will be notified by email by Friday, March 7, 2025, about their child’s assigned school.
6 TRANSFERS AFTER DEADLINE

Movement between schools after the school placements have been finalized will require a transfer request submitted on the Parent Portal under the Enrolment Requests-New; Transfer; Withdraw (2025/2026) school year.

    • The ability to transfer will be limited by building space and available staffing. See Student Transfer Guidelines.
    • A review of transfer requests will be completed before the Grade 7 orientation date in May. Individual meetings and/or visits will occur after placement.
