Welcome to Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42. We are proud to be one of BC’s most innovative school districts and make it our mission to ensure that all our learners feel valued and reach their full potential.
For kindergarten registration, Grade 8 registration, and registration at all other grade levels, see the information below.
To find your catchment school, use our School Locator.
Any child who turns 5 years old in 2020 (born in 2015) is eligible to register for the 2020-21 school year.
Learn more about our online kindergarten registration process at www.sd42.ca/kindergarten-registration.
Please note: There are no Grade 7 Info Nights prior to registration. Each school will host an information session for incoming students once registration is complete.
To provide an optimal learning environment for all students, Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42 must manage enrolment across all schools, ensuring that enrolment numbers match building capacity.
“Where space and facility is determined to be available,” the school district has an open boundary policy that allows flexibility in choice regarding which secondary school students may attend (School Act section 74.1 Section 6). Due to increasing enrolment in recent years, however, the majority of students are assigned to their catchment school. All our high schools meet the needs of all learners.
