Dear families:

overflow school (placed in an overflow school due to space constraints) will have an opportunity to
submit a School Change Request (SCR) form to return to their in-catchment school.
Families that would like to request a change to an out of catchment school may apply at this time.
Priority will be given to students who have been force transferred and would like to try return to their
in-catchment school.
Please note SCRs will not be reviewed until after Spring Break. Schools will respond by June 1, 2023
whether or not the change request can be accommodated.
School Change Request Period: January 23 – February 3, 2023 for the 2023/24 school year.
Apply online: https://www.sd62.bc.ca/changerequests
Open to students who were force transferred to an overflow school by the district or made the
choice to leave their in-catchment school and would like to return.
Open to students who are requesting a transfer to an out of catchment school.
Important Information
A critical piece you should consider is district provided transportation services (if applicable).
You decide not to apply for an SCR.
You will no longer be considered a “force transfer” student. By not submitting an SCR to return
to your in-catchment school, you will be choosing to continue at your current through personal
choice. As a result, you will be ineligible for district provided transportation services.
If you apply for an SCR, but are not successful in receiving a seat at your in-catchment school.
Your child will still be considered a “force transfer” and you will be eligible for district provided
transportation services.
You apply for an SCR and are successful.
You can still apply for district provided transportation services; however, transportation
registration is dependent on your primary home address and whether safe walking routes have
been identified by the Transportation Department.
You apply for an out of catchment school, and are successful.
You are making a personal choice to attend an out of catchment school and therefore ineligible
for district provided transportation services.
