School Registration Information

Winnipeg School Division will be accepting conditional student applications for the 2025/2026 school year. This will only apply to resident students new to WSD or transferring to another school within division.  

Catchment school registration for all WSD schools opens February 10, 2025.  This is for learners entering a new school in their catchment area.  For example, a child entering Nursery or Kindergarten for the first time, a child transitioning to Middle Years, or a child transitioning to Senior Years must all register.  However, a child in Grade 3 who will remain at their current school does not need to re-register.

Catchment School Registration begins online February 10, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. at winnipegsd.ca/registration.  Paper registrations are still available at the school.

School of Choice applications for within-division and outside-division students open March 3.  A child that already attends a School of Choice does not need to re-apply.  The staggered date of School of Choice applications allows WSD to accept students based on the school's capacity and available resources, in addition to registration guidelines set by the Province of MB. 

NOTE: All within-division students must apply at their catchment school first before applying for a School of Choice or divisional program.

Applications information for School of Choice will be accepted between March 3 and May 15 only.

Please fill out the Student Application for Registration form, print and sign and then email them directly to the school.

All applications for resident students will only be accepted conditionally until all documentation confirming the information below has been received.

If you are unable to print or scan the forms, please contact the school via email at lordnelson@wsd1.org or by phone at 204-586-9625. Schools are checking emails and voice messages on a daily basis.
