Programs and Services
Student support / counselling The district provides an elementary school counsellor on a part-time basis. The counsellor supports students with emotional, social, or behavioral challenges that affect learning and well-being, and can consult with students, families, and staff. Students may self-refer initially, and ongoing support requires permissions; the counsellor can also refer families to community agencies for longer-term support. Transportation (school buses) Central Okanagan Public Schools Transportation operates school bus routes and requires families to submit an online transportation application. Students must be registered to ride and will be issued a bus pass; only registered riders may ride (no guest passengers). The district also shares bus rider safety expectations (e.g., arrive early, remain seated, keep aisles clear, and follow driver signals when crossing).
Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
School bus service is managed by Central Okanagan Public Schools Transportation, which requires families to apply online for transportation; approved riders receive a bus pass that must be scanned when boarding/exiting. The district emphasizes bus safety expectations, including arriving at the stop about 10 minutes early, staying seated while the bus is moving, and only crossing in front of the bus when the red alternating lights are flashing and the driver gives the signal. Families are responsible for their child’s safety getting to/from the bus stop.
Enrollment
Families enroll through Central Okanagan Public Schools by (1) finding their catchment school, (2) reviewing the enrolment application tutorial, and (3) completing the district enrolment application online. After applying, families provide required documentation (proof of age/citizenship and proof of B.C. residency and address) to the school. The district also notes that all kindergarten students enroll in the BC Ministry of Education Full Day Kindergarten Program.
