Registration

Kindergarten & Grade 1

A child's first day at school can be an exhilarating and memorable experience, but school registration should be an efficient and comforting process for parents.

Schools offer information sessions for parents in February or March to help them prepare for Kindergarten or Grade 1 enrolment. The Division advertises sessions in community newspapers and on school signage; the schedule permits parents to attend the session for both of the English and the French Immersion Program schools in their catchment areas. Contact your school if you miss the information sessions and wish to arrange an appointment to register your child.

The Division's schools serve specific catchment areas. Use our school locator to determine your designated school, based on your address.

Schools of Choice

Within the Division

Occasionally, students and/or their families may wish them to attend a school other than that designated for their home address. A Parent-Initiated Transfer application (PIT) must be completed and submitted for consideration. These requests for transfers are considered at the school of choice based on provincial guidelines, which state that schools enroll students in the following order of priority:

  • students designated to attend that school
  • students residing in the Louis Riel School Division
  • other Manitoba students

Acceptance is also based on school population, available space and resources. Parent-Initiated Transfer requests are accepted between February 1 and May 15 for the next school year. For more information contact Gail Rebec at the Louis Riel School Division Board Office.

Outside the Division

Students wishing to transfer to the Louis Riel School Division from another school division must complete a School of Choice application. These requests for transfers are considered at the school of choice based on provincial guidelines which state that schools enroll students in the following order of priority:

  • students designated to attend that school
  • students residing in the Louis Riel School Division
  • other Manitoba students

Acceptance is also based on school population, available space and resources. The deadline to submit School of Choice applications is May 15. Contact Gail Rebec at the Louis Riel School Division Board Office for more information.
