K4 Registrations – Feb 19 to March 1, 2024
- 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 K4 registrations 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 2024-2025 he or she must be 4 years of age (K4) or 5 years of age (K5) on or before September 30th, 2024.
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, 2024 can register for K4 in their catchment, however, no derogations are permitted for this grade level.

Cross-Boundary Requests
Parents are asked to register their child in their boundary school. Cross-Boundary Requests allow parents to request to send their child to another school located outside of the boundaries of a given school (in other words, the territory served by a school). This transfer request is made to the Department of School Organization, which will review it individually before submitting a recommendation to the General Directorate.
- Review the Cross-Boundary Policy;
- Fill out the Cross Boundary Application Form 2022-2023 and return to the School Organization Department by fax at 819 684-9061 or email at cross-boundaries@wqsb.qc.ca;
- Parent or guardian will be required to complete a Temporary Authorization – Cross Boundary 2021-2022 form if the family moves onto the territory of a different school during the school year, in order to allow the child to remain in the same school for the remainder of the school year.
