Step One 

Huy ch q’u (Thank you) for your interest in joining our school learning community. To proceed, please complete the online enrolment form.  To speak with an administrator about our program choices, please contact us  at 250-746-0277  or email grovesecretary@sd79.bc.ca

• Please note for the 10-12 Program, if you are enrolling more than one student with our programs (YEAH, Huy ch q’u!), unfortunately, you will need to use a different student email for each enrolment form.

Step Two

Now you need to send us a copy of identification (POA/ID) and proof of residency (POR) for all K-12 students.

1. For identification, Birth Certificate, Passport, Status card, or Permanent Resident Card (WE NEED A COPY OF BOTH SIDES OF THE CARD).
2. For proof of residency, BC Care Card, BC ID Card, BC Driver’s License, Status Card, or current utility bill (WE NEED A COPY OF BOTH SIDES OF THE CARD)

How?

• Fax, scan or send a picture to grovesecretary@sd79.bc.ca

Step Three

K to 9 program:

• First, a member from our administration team will contact you to discuss our program and your programs needs and desires. You can reach out to them first if you wish (grovesecretary@sd79.bc.ca).
• Once this initial contact is made, the admin team will bring forward new families to the Grove Team. Teachers will be assigned to each new family and will contact them for an intake meeting as soon as possible
• At this intake meeting, the new teacher and family will:
• Review roles of Teachers, Parents & Students in a DL program
• Review internet usage and our Indigenous Education program
• Co-create the Student Learning Plan (SLP) for the school year

10 to 12 program:

• Once The Grove clerical receives your POR and POA, a second automated email will be sent to you with your new Brightspace/D2L username and password (where all your work will be obtain and completed). You will need this to ‘sign in’ to your new online course(s)
• If you already have a SD79 Brightspace/D2L account with the email used for enrolment, you will NOT be given a new username and password. If you forgot your old login information, please contact our office
• If you are moving to The Grove (CVDL) program full time, you will also complete a Graduation Plan and a Student Learning Plan (SLP) with our academic advisor, we will also request your records from your old school. Please make an appointment with our academic advisor ASAP by sending an email to grovesecretary@sd79.bc.ca

Step Four

For all programs, work needs to be submitted within two weeks of enrolment or the signing of the Student Learning Plan (SLP).
