Registration

Things to know before completing a new student registration form

1. A New Student Registration Form is completed for someone who is not currently enrolled in a St. Albert Public School.
2. Before starting a registration form, know which is your neighbourhood school, and which program you wish your child to attend.
3. The registration form is to be completed by the student’s parent/legal guardian. According to the Education Act, a parent is the guardian as set out in Section 20 of the Family Law Act. An appointed guardian is defined under Part 1, Division 5 of the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act or Section 23 of the Family Law Act.
4. Along with the registration form, documents are required to prove the student’s legal name, date of birth and Canadian citizenship status.  Documents to prove name, age and citizenship may include:
   • Canadian Citizens:
     • Canadian Passport
     • Canadian Birth Certificate
   • Non-Canadian Citizens:
     • Permanent resident card
     • Valid temporary resident papers (may be required for both students and parents)
     • Valid immigration papers (may be required for both students and parents)
5. All required forms must be submitted and your chosen school must confirm acceptance before your student’s registration is complete.
6. Once a registration form is submitted, you must contact the school to make changes to your information.
