Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
The district provides school bus transportation and requires families to submit an online transportation application; a student must be registered on a route to ride, and only registered riders may be transported (no guest riders). Families are advised students should be at the bus stop 10 minutes before scheduled pickup, remain seated while the bus is in motion, and follow driver directions for safe loading/unloading (including crossing only when the driver signals). Transportation fees are applied through School Cash Online after a seat is assigned, with payment arrangements required within 30 days; fee subsidies may be available through the district’s financial hardship process.
Enrollment
Central Okanagan Public Schools provides a district enrolment process: families find their catchment school, watch the enrolment tutorial, and submit an enrolment application online. After applying, families provide required documentation (such as proof of age/citizenship and proof of B.C. residency and address). Some students (e.g., landed immigrant/permanent resident/work visa/refugee status) must first visit the Welcome Centre to obtain an enrollment code before an application can be completed.
