Prepare for Your Appointment
We look forward to meeting you! At least one parent/legal guardian and the child(ren) registering for school are required to be at the appointment. During the appointment, we will:
- Confirm immigration status by reviewing immigration documents.
- Give information about our schools.
- Help complete the registration form.
- Learn more about your child.
Additionally, for children who speak a language other than English, we will:
- Assess your child's English skills.
- Explain English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and programming for students.
This information will be sent to the school and used to support your child’s English language learning. It will not be used to place your child in a grade level. Grade level is determined by your child’s date of birth.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
Please bring the following documents to your appointment:
- Student's immigration document,
- Proof of parent's immigration status in Canada:
- Confirmation of permanent residence (landing paper or permanent residence card) OR
- Parent's work or study permit (confirmation of enrollment in a post-secondary program is required for study permit holders),
- Recent, dated documentation to confirm your permanent address in Saskatoon (e.g., signed mortgage, rental or lease agreement, utility bill, Saskatchewan driver's license),
- School transcripts (school records) for students age 14 and older,
