REGISTRATION GRADES 8-9

When registering your child for classes in Grade 8 and Grade 9, follow the four steps outlined below:

(NOTE: If your Grade 8 or 9 student wishes to take a course at the Grade 10-12 level, please use the Grade 10-12 Registration form. The student must also complete an Initial Assignment for each course and complete a Graduation Plan and submit it to deskregistration@sd8.bc.ca (contact the Grade 10-12 counsellor if you need help with this).

Step 1

  • Collect your information. DESK will require a copy of your child's birth certificate, passport, or Landed Immigrant papers.
  • Copy of a recent report card.

Step 2

  • Complete the application form.
  • Provide basic demographic information.
  • Contact the teacher to develop the learning plan for you child. Your teacher may ask your child to do a couple of activities to help design the plan.

Step 3

  • Payment of a refundable deposit. A refundable textbook deposit is required -- $100 per student to a maximum of $150 for an entire family. You may pay by MasterCard, Visa, money order, or cheque made payable to DESK.

Step 4

  • Activate your course by completing and submitting your first assignment (typically submitted within the first three weeks).

Courses are free unless you are registered in your neighborhood school, in which case we will work together with your school to arrange a course at no cost to you except for the refundable deposit.
