Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
For traffic flow, the school reserves the BVE cul-de-sac for Kindergarten and Grade 1 families (and Cornerstones drop-off/pick-up). Other families are asked to drop off and pick up along Ninth Street or another nearby walkable street, and the school encourages students to walk or ride when possible. Students in Begbie View’s catchment area are not typically bused because the school is centrally located, though students may use buses for field trips; bus behaviour is expected to follow the school Code of Conduct and district expectations.
Enrollment
The school website directs families registering a K–12 student to use the district’s K-12 Student Registration form (and a separate StrongStart registration form for StrongStart). After the online form is processed, the school contacts families about required documentation, which must be received before registration is finalized. The site lists required documentation such as proof of birth date, guardianship, citizenship, and BC residence.
