Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
For traffic safety, a crossing guard is on duty at Eighth Avenue and 22nd Street, and families are asked to follow the guard’s instructions and observe reduced speed zones. The school also links families to the City of New Westminster’s safe travel routes to school and notes the city has supported school travel planning to help build a safe, accessible, and healthy community.
Enrollment
Families are directed to the district registration site for how to register for a new school year (including deadlines). To register during the school year or after deadlines, families are asked to book an appointment with the district registration team, bring completed forms and required paperwork, and note that placements are by catchment and space availability. The school explains that if Connaught Heights is full, out-of-catchment applications/transfers are generally not accepted (except for siblings already attending out-of-catchment), and high-demand placements may use a lottery; students may be placed at the next available school and added to a wait list for their catchment school.
