A child may be registered to attend Kindergarten in September if his or her fifth birthday occurs on or before December 31st of the current year.
Children whose fifth birthday falls on or before December 31, 2022 are eligible to enter Kindergarten in September 2022. The online application process for registration for the 2022-2023 school year will be held from February 14-20, 2022 starting at 8:30 am. For verification of your catchment area school, please check the School Locator.

Please have the following documents ready to upload with your child’s registration (all documents must be received for registration to be accepted):
- Proof of birth date for the student (birth certificate or passport) (registration will not be accepted until proof of birth date is received).
- Proof of citizenship for both the parent and the student (Canadian birth certificate, citizenship card, passport, landed immigrant document, permanent resident card).
- BC Services Card (please include both sides of this card)
- Proof of Residency (Property Taxes – current receipt, purchase/rental agreement or rental receipt).
Incomplete information and documents will delay the registration process. Please ensure that all documents included with your child’s registration are legible.
We will process your child’s registration as soon as possible. The office will then contact you for more information and documents to complete. Once all documents have been received and your child has been accepted at Gray, we will follow up with a email confirming your child’s acceptance. The whole process may take several months to complete. Parents should be aware that students may be required to attend a school outside of their usual attendance area if class enrolments exceed 20.
If you live in our catchment and would like your Kindergarten aged child to attend a school other than Gray, an online non-catchment application form must be completed. Non-catchment applications will be accepted online only commencing February 7, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. Applications received prior to March 4, 2022 will receive priority in their respective category. Approvals will be processed as soon as possible, but may be held until the second week of September, therefore, parents should register their child at their catchment area school the week of February 14-20, 2022 to ensure a placement. Schools will hold non-catchment forms until approved by the Assistant Superintendent; no approval of non-catchment requests may be given at the school level.
Due to space restrictions, Gray Elementary will not be accepting Non-Catchment and Non-District Applications for the 2022/2023 school year, with the exception of students who have siblings already attending the school. Families that fall in this category, please contact the office for more information on how to apply.
