Step 1: Determine how to register your child
For children born outside of Canada and who are not yet Canadian citizens, including Permanent Residents/Refugees/Temporary Residents (Work & Study Permit Holders) please follow the instructions on the school district webpage. 

If your child is registering to enter Grade K -7 in the Langley School District for the upcoming school year (September entry for 2025-2026), please continue to step 2. 

Step 2: Determine your child’s catchment school
To find your catchment school, use the District’s school locator tool here. Please note, addresses in the school locator tool will be updated in January 2024

Step 3: Gather documents required for your child’s registration
If you are missing any of the required documents, your registration will not be processed until all documents have been submitted.

If you have any questions please email Ms. Ruth kruth@sd35.bc.ca.

After your child’s information has been received and reviewed, you will receive confirmation email from the school informing you it has been received, along with other information, and further instructions (if necessary)

Step 4: Register your child online via MyEDBC
A desktop or laptop device is strongly recommended to complete online applications. The use of a tablet or mobile phone will be challenging.  

If this is your first time registering a child and you have no other children currently attending school in BC, then you will need to start a new MyEDBC account by following these directions in the video here below.  

Log in to MyEDBC here.

 

Once you have created an account or if you already have a child attending a school in BC, then you do not need to start a new MyEDBC account. You will need to log in to your existing account and initiate a new application for your child by following these directions in this video here below.  

 

If you have a MyEDBC account and you are having trouble logging in, please visit the District’s MyEDBC help webpage here.
