School District No. 35

If your child is registering to enter elementary school in the Langley School District for the upcoming school year (September entry for 2025-2026), please continue to step 2.

If your child has been accepted into Kindergarten at a District Choice Program for the 2025-2026 school year, you do not need to register at their catchment school.

Please note, as of September 2025, there will be new catchments for the new school in the Northeast Latimer neighbourhood named Josette Dandurand Elementary, Donna Gabriel Robins Elementary, Willoughby Elementary and Langley Meadows Community School. These changes are reflected in the School Locator Tool. You can also refer to this infographic to see the new catchment changes here.

If you are still unsure of what your child’s catchment will be, please contact the school board office by phone: 604-534-7891.

Families have the option of purchasing insurance for their child/children through two different companies. Enrolment in the program can be done online. For more information on available plans and to apply for coverage, visit this page here.

Start up schedules will vary at each school. Parents are recommended to contact their child’s school to confirm start and end times for the first week.

If your child is already enrolled at a school, but will not be in class for any reason on the first day, please contact the school and report the absence. If you are new to the district and have not registered at your neighbourhood school, register your child as soon as possible (elementary school offices are opened one week prior to the first day of school; secondary offices two weeks prior).

It is critically important to each school, and to the entire school district, that all Langley students attend their school and confirm their registration.

At the elementary level, only after attendance is confirmed can your child’s school verify its grade count (numbers of students per grade) with the district office. Only then will Langley’s elementary schools receive their finalized allocation of teachers. On the Friday of the first week elementary schools will complete their official class lists. Children will be assigned to their classes by Monday of the second week.

Please Note: In the unusual circumstance that your child may not attend on the first day, please contact your school. Failure to confirm your child’s registration and non-attendance on the first two days of school start-up may result in the loss of your child’s place at your school. This reflects Langley School District’s obligation to meet the Ministry of Education’s class-size requirements K-3, 4-7, and the Ministry cross-boundary, cross-district attendance provisions.
