Admissions

Enrolling your child at Maple Ridge

We enroll students who live within the Maple Ridge attendance zone, plus a limited number of transfer students each year. Here's exactly how the process works.

The process

Four steps to enroll

  1. Confirm your attendance zone

    Check your home address against the district boundary map, or call the office and we'll check it for you in under a minute.

  2. Complete the enrollment form

    Fill out the district enrollment packet (available at the office or by mail) with your child's name, birth date, and home address.

  3. Bring your documents

    Proof of address, your child's birth certificate, and up-to-date immunization records. Bring copies — we'll make them for you if needed.

  4. Meet your teacher

    Once enrollment is confirmed, we'll invite you to a welcome visit so your child can meet their teacher before the first day.

Questions

Frequently asked

What if we live outside the attendance zone?

You can still apply as a transfer student starting May 1. Space depends on classroom capacity, and we'll let you know within two weeks of applying.

Do you offer before- and after-school care?

Yes — our partner program runs 7:00–7:45am and 3:15–6:00pm on campus. Ask the office for current rates and to join the waitlist.

My child has an IEP or 504 plan — what should I bring?

Bring the most recent plan and any evaluation reports. Our learning support coordinator will reach out within a week of enrollment to plan the transition.

Can I tour the school before enrolling?

Absolutely — we run tours every Tuesday at 9:00am during the school year. Call the office to reserve a spot.

Have a question we didn't answer?

The front office is happy to walk you through enrollment over the phone or in person.
