Returning Prairie Rose Students
Returning student registration forms were sent out to all current PRPS students back in February. These forms were collected at the school level until the end of June using the online program School Engage. Missing or past due registration forms for the 2025-2026 year will be sent out using our new online registration program called PowerSchool Enrollment in the fall. Families with missing forms will receive an email from PowerSchool Enrollment that includes a snapcode link. The snapcode is like a key to your child’s returning form for the upcoming school year. You will receive a separate email with a unique snapcode link for each child who has an outstanding registration. If you have any questions please call your school office for assistance or email our PRPS PowerSchool support person Krista Lester at kristalester@prrd8.ca who will be able to assist you with the process. |

New Students Outside the PRPS Attendance Area If you do not currently live within the Prairie Rose attendance area, you are required to complete an Out of District application form before registering at a Prairie Rose school – unless you are registering for a Junior Kindergarten program. We encourage families to submit and receive approvals prior to the registration opening date. ✔️ Apply to attend a Prairie Rose School: Out of District Application Form Once completed, you must wait to receive approval by the school principal before proceeding with your school registration. |
Is your child ready for school? To register for kindergarten, a student must be at least 5 years of age before December 31, 2025. If they are younger than age 5 by that date, they are still eligible to register for our Junior Kindergarten program at select PRPS locations. If you are unsure, enter your child's age in the Kindergarten calculator found here: https://www.ecsd.net/kindergarten-calculator |
Early Learning Readiness Check-Ups We encourage all new 3-5 year old students to attend an Early Learning Readiness Check-Up at their local school. These check-ups help us ensure appropriate early learning supports are available. Services may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, deaf and hard of hearing assistance and other types of supports based on the needs of the child. A link to register for your child’s check-up will be shared with you upon submission of your 2025-2026 Student Registration form via email. You can also contact your local school for assistance. 📅 Check Up Schedule (now closed) Information regarding Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Learn and Explore Programs can be found here: (ECS) Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten in PRPS Junior Kindergarten (for children ages 3 and 4 - prior to December 31, 2025) Kindergarten/Learn and Explore Program (for children age 5 - prior to December 31, 2025) |
