WESTERN QUÉBEC SCHOOL BOARD

Registrations 2022-2023

Registration Period:

K5 and New Registrations – Ongoing

K4 Registrations – March 7, 2022 to March 11, 2022

  • Due to the limited number of spaces in the K4 program, registrations for K4 will be determined by a “lottery system”. All completed registrations received during the week of March 7, 2022 to March 11, 2022 will be assigned a number. After the registration period is over, if we receive more applications than the allocated number of spots, we will hold a lottery to determine the students that will be registered for the K4 program. A wait-list will also be drawn, to be used if one of the allocated spots becomes available before the start of the school year.

To register your child for Kindergarten 2022-2023 he or she must be 4 years of age (K4) or 5 years of age (K5) on or before September 30th, 2022.

Under certain conditions, specified by the Quebec Ministry of Education (M.E.E.S.), students may begin kindergarten or Cycle 1.1 early, through a process called Derogation.  The conditions are contained in the Education Act. Click here for more information. Note: Students who are 4 years old on or before September 30th, 2022 can register for K4 in their catchment, however, no derogations are permitted for this grade level.

Step 1:

Use our School Locator to determine your child’s boundary school. To apply for a transfer to another WQSB school, see Cross-Boundary Requests. Please note that Cross-Boundary applications are not accepted for the K4 program.
