K-12 Registration

If your child is moving from one PWPSD school to another for reasons other than transitioning into junior/high school you must complete a 'new' student registration for the new school.

*Students transitioning from Wembley Elementary School to Helen E. Taylor School do NOT need to complete a new student registration.

1. Create an account or, if you already have children enrolled at a PWPSD school, just sign in to your existing InfoSnap account. If you encounter issues creating an account, please review our step-by-step How to Register Online webpage or contact your school office.

2. Once you are signed into your account, complete the form. You will need to upload scanned copies or photos of:

- your child's birth certificate
- a piece of mail showing your home address
- any court orders affecting your child

3. You will be contacted after your application has been approved by the school office.

Note: If your child is a returning student to the school they attended in June, do not complete the 'new' online registration above. Instead, complete the Returning Student Update Form found below.

*A feeder school is any PWPSD school that eventually sends its students to a different PWPSD school for junior/high school.

Parents and Legal Guardians

In Alberta, the Education Act, Family Law Act, and Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act define the definition of a parent. Parents are essential partners in education, and have a right and responsibility to make decisions respecting the education of their children.

A student's eligibility to register for school in based on the residence of their parent or legal guardian. To qualify for funded education in Alberta, both the student and parent must reside in Alberta, and proof of residency must be provided. Schools must verify legal guardianship.

Guardianship can only be granted by a court order, typically through the Court of King's Bench of Alberta. Documents from Alberta Child and Family Services may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Custodianship documents, letters from parents, notarized letters, or informal care arrangements do not establish guardianship.

Stepparents are not legal guardians unless guardianship has been granted by the court.

It is our responsibility to ensure that the legal parent/guardian provides and has access to student information.

Parents all have the right and responsibility to make decisions about their children's education. For school purposes, a "parent" is the child's legal guardian or another person who has been legally appointed or authorized to make decisions for the child, and has provided the required documentation to the school. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring all guardianship and custodial documents are provided to the school.

Temporary Declaration of Legal Name and Age Form

New student registrations cannot be accepted or approved until the school receives either a legal Canadian identification (typically a birth certificate that is attached to the online registration) or a 'Temporary Declaration of Legal Name and Age for Canadian Citizens' certificate. Once this Temporary Declaration has been sent to the school, parents/guardians have only 30 days to send in the valid legal Canadian identification.

How PWPSD Collects and Uses Personal Information

Returning Student Demographic Form

My child is returning to the school they attended in June, or transferring to a PWPSD feeder school.

Parents of returning students will receive a Snapcode in early September. You will need this code to complete the Returning Student Demographic Form.

The Returning Student Demographic Form is important as it is used to ensure existing demographic information currently on file, such as your home address and emergency contact information, is accurate. Please complete this form by September 30.
