Find My Designated School

Designated Schools

With the authority of the Education Act, EIPS has created a boundary system where students are assigned a designated school, which is usually their neighbourhood school, depending on school capacity and utilization. By providing a designated school for each child, EIPS ensures there is space available in that school to meet children's educational needs. Refer to Administrative Procedure 305, School Attendance Areas and Requests to Attend Non-Designated Schools for more information.

The current attendance boundaries create a feeder school framework wherever possible. A feeder school framework is when all students designated to a particular elementary school are designated together as one group to a subsequent junior and senior high school. Within this model, students who attend their designated schools from kindergarten to Grade 12 will transition with all other students in the same school from elementary to junior high and then to senior high.

Returning students wishing to attend a non-designated school, for grades 1-12, must indicate their preference during the returning student registration process, which took place Feb. 1-29, 2020 (for 2020-21 registrations). Those who wish to attend a non-designated school for kindergarten can indicate that preference during kindergarten registration, which opened on Feb. 1, 2020.

HOW-TO: Find your designated school using our online tool
Parents who are interested in an alternative program (languages, Logos, Christian, Outreach, Special Education) must select the Advanced Search button at the top of the screen in the online tool before proceeding with the steps below.

Select a grade: choose the appropriate grade level for your child from the drop-down menu.

If you live in the community of Josephburg or St. Michael, input your house number in the House # field and "Josephburg" or "St. Michael" in the Street field. For example, 55 Josephburg, rather than 55 Main Street.
