Registrations completed between March 2, 2024, through to April 1, 2024, will not be reviewed or approved by school staff until after Spring Break. Families can continue to register their child online during the month of March but please take note that notification of your child’s application status should not be expected until sometime in April 2024. 

The Langley School District welcomes new Kindergarten students to our schools. Our teachers and staff are excited to meet your family. All children who will be five years old by December 31, 2024 (children born in 2019) are eligible for the Kindergarten program beginning September 3, 2024.  

The Langley School District is launching a new online process for Kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year.

Registration opens on Monday, January 15, 2024, and will be open until Friday, March 1, 2024.

Please read the following instructions below carefully to assist you and your family. It is important to ensure you have all required documents to expedite the process.

If you have any general questions about Kindergarten registration, please contact the school board office or email: feedback@sd35.bc.ca

For more guidance, read our Kindergarten Brochure.

• Step 1: Determine how to register your child

  Families born outside of Canada and who are not yet Canadian citizens such as Permanent Residents/Refugees/Temporary Residents (Work & Study Permit Holders) please follow the instructions on this webpage here.

  If your child is registering to enter Kindergarten in the Langley School District for the current school year (2023-2024), please visit your child’s catchment school. To find your catchment school, use the District’s school locator tool here.  Please note, addresses in the school locator tool will be updated in January 2024. Registration for the current school year is being completed in-person at the school level.

  If your child is registering to enter Kindergarten in the Langley School District for the upcoming school year (September entry for 2024-2025), please continue to step 2.

  If your child has been accepted into Kindergarten at a District Choice Program for the 2024-2025 school year, you do not need to register at their catchment school.

• Step 4: Register your child online via MyEDBC

  A desktop or laptop device is strongly recommended to complete online applications. The use of a tablet or mobile phone will be challenging.   

  Please take note, families can set-up MyEDBC accounts beginning on January 15 once the online registration system has been activated.

  If this is your first time registering a child and you have no other children currently attending school in BC, then you will need to start a new MyEDBC account by following these directions in this video here below.  

  Once you have created an account or if you already have a child attending a school in BC, then you do not need to start a new MyEDBC account. You will need to log in to your existing account and initiate a new application for your child by following these directions in this video here below.  

  If you have a MyEDBC account and you are having trouble logging in, please visit the District’s MyEDBC help webpage here.
