Non-district students applying for Kindergarten in Delta must complete an online non-district application form. Non-district applications will be accepted online only commencing February 5, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Applications received prior to March 1, 2024 will receive priority in their respective category. Parents of non-district students should be advised that a decision regarding entry into the Delta Kindergarten program may not be made until the second week of September, therefore, should register for their catchment area school in their home district to ensure a placement. The Assistant Superintendents’ Office will notify each school of the successful non-district applicants. Once the school has received approval from the Assistant Superintendents’ Office, non-district students may then register for the designated school.
Please fill out one Non-Catchment or Non-District Application form only. If you have a second and/or third choice, please make note of them on the same form and in order of preference. Please note: Due to space restrictions, Gray, Ladner and Richardson Elementary Schools will only be accepting Non-Catchment and Non-District Applications for those students who have siblings already attending the school. Families that fall in this category, please contact Gray, Ladner or Richardson for more information on how to apply.
