Enrollment for New/Transfer Students

All District 401 students, whether new or returning, must enroll in the District each school year. The enrollment process is also known as "registration."

This process is done entirely online via PowerSchool. It involves:

  • Proof of residency
  • Payment of school fees
  • Submission of consent forms

A student is a "new student" if he or she did not attend a District 401 school the previous school year. For the purposes of 2022-23 enrollment, this means a student is considered "new" if he or she was not enrolled as a District 401 student during 2021-22.

Definition of "New Student"

As mentioned above, a student is a "new student" if he or she did not attend a District 401 school the previous school year. For the purposes of 2022-23 enrollment, this means a student is considered "new" if he or she was not enrolled as a District 401 student during 2021-22.

If your student did attend a District 401 school in 2021-22, including John Mills for preschool or one of our alternative schools, please see our Returning Students page.
