For safety, parents are asked not to use the school parking lot for drop-off or pick-up. Parking is available on Park Drive beyond the bus zone and crosswalk, and families are asked to use the marked crosswalk when crossing Park Drive. The school encourages walking or biking when possible and asks drivers to park only in designated areas.

The website directs families registering K–12 students to use the district’s K-12 Student Registration form, and provides a separate StrongStart registration process through School District #19 (Revelstoke). After an online form is processed, the school will contact families regarding required documentation, which must be received before registration is finalized (e.g., proof of birth date, guardianship, citizenship, and BC residence).
