NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION

Because schools remain closed to students and visitors due to COVID-19, new student registrations will now be submitted online. If your child is new to the Division, you must complete Homesteader S chool’s online registration form, fill out and upload the Student Registration form and submit supporting documents before your child(ren) can be registered for the upcoming school year.

Our school will no longer accept printed registrations. Do not drop off student registration forms at the school.

Submitting a registration package after the deadline of April 15, 2020, may limit your options to schools with available space. Learn more about registration dates and deadlines.

HOW TO REGISTER

CONFIRMING REGISTRATION SUBMISSION

Once you have submitted your completed student registration form and supporting documents, we will review all of the documents. This does not mean your child has been enrolled at the school—we will contact you to let you know once your child is enrolled.

Our Philosophy & About our School

Our Vision:

Creating a positive school culture through opportunities for success, supportive relationships and high expectations.

Our Mission:

As a team, we build relationships with our students and community to foster a safe, supportive and creative learning environment that ensures each child successfully reaches their social, emotional and intellectual potential as lifelong learners.

We understand the importance of providing our students with an environment of trust, co-operation and respect. We recognize that each child is unique and special with their own potential for growth and success. At Homesteader we celebrate our cultural diversity and promote a sense of community in all classrooms. Students are engaged in their learning through the use of technology, hands-on activities and co-operative learning activities. Homesteader staff members are committed to continuous professional improvement and model life-long learning. We value our relationships with our school community and recognize the importance of open communication among parents, students and staff.

Homesteader School is located in the south Clareview area. The community contains a mixture of single family homes and high density housing. We are an optimal enrolment school, offering programming for our community students but we welcome students from other communities into our Opportunity and Pre Kindergarten program. .

We offer a great deal of support to our students and families through a number of community partnerships. Our Success Coach and our high school partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters will continue to support the social, emotional and academic growth of our students. We will be able to offer afterschool programming through Abbottsfield Youth Projects, Catholic Social Services volunteer program and Free Footie. We will continue to be an Apple School which promotes a healthy eating, fitness and mental health. We have an active School Council which has been incredibly supportive of the many initiatives happening at Homesteader.
