Grade 8 Transfer Period

To provide an optimal learning environment for all students, the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42 (SD42) 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.

In-District Students: Families with children currently enrolled in a Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) elementary school should submit an Existing Student Transfer Request in the Grade 8 Transfer Period.

Out-of-District Students: Families with children currently enrolled in an elementary school outside of the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) should submit a New Student Registration in the Grade 8 Transfer Period.
