Dear Families,

Beginning on January 23, 2023, families who have students who have been force transferred to Savory school (placed here due to space constraints at their in-catchment school) must submit a School Change Request (SCR) form to return to their in-catchment school.

Families that would like to request a change to an out of catchment school may also apply at this time. Priority will be given to students who have been force transferred and would like to return to their in-catchment school.

Please note SCRs will not be reviewed until after Spring Break. Schools will respond by June 1, 2023, whether or not the change request can be accommodated.

School Change Request Process

  1. Submit a SCHOOL CHANGE REQUEST
  2. Dates: January 23 – February 3, 2023
    • Open to students who were force transferred to an overflow school by the district or made the choice to leave their in-catchment school and would like to return.
    • Open to students who are requesting a transfer to an out of catchment school.

Important Information

A critical piece you should note when considering a School Change Request is district provided transportation services

  1. If you decide not to apply for a SCR you will no longer be considered a “force transfer” student. By not submitting a SCR to return to your in-catchment school, you will be choosing to continue at your current school through personal choice. As a result, you will be ineligible for district provided transportation services.
  2. If you apply for a SCR but are not successful in receiving a seat at your in-catchment school your child will again be considered a “force transfer” and you will be eligible for district provided transportation services.
  3. If you apply for a SCR and are successful you can still apply for district provided transportation services. However, transportation registration is dependent on your primary home address and whether safe walking routes have been identified by the Transportation Department.
  4. If you apply for an out of catchment school and are successful, you are making a personal choice to attend an out of catchment school and ineligible for district provided transportation services.

Students are encouraged to wear black January 13. Commemorating the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., Black Shirt Day is both a day of education and remembrance and to raise awareness of the ongoing struggle for civil and human rights faced by Black and racialized Canadians, as well as a call to join together against racism and hate.

 
 

Savory welcomes Kindergarten registration applicants from Children born in 2018. These students will begin Kindergarten in September 2023.

January 23 (8:00 AM) to January 27 (3:00 PM)
Regular Kindergarten Registration

If you have any questions about kindergarten registration, please contact School District 62.

Email: info@sd62.bc.ca
Phone: 250-474-9800

In addition, School Change Requests for the 2023-24 School Year are available January 23 through February 3, 2023. Any current Kindergarten to Grade 4 Savory students who are  planning on attending another School District 62 elementary school in the 2023-24 school year, should contact the Savory Office about this change and fill out a School Change Request Form for 2023-24. This is an ideal time for students who were sent to Savory because their Catchment School was full in 2022-23, to transfer back to that school if they wish to attend their Catchment School in 2023-24.

All current Grade 5 Savory Students will automatically be transferred to Spencer Middle School unless families request another school. Please Contact the Savory Office if your Garde 5 student plans to attend another School District 62 Middle School other than Spencer Middle School for Grade 6 and fill out a School Change Request Form for 2023-24.

Thank you
