Kindergarten Program Day Choice

Our Kindergarten Program is designed for children to attend full days on Monday/Wednesday/alternating Fridays or Tuesday/Thursday/alternating Fridays.

  • Parents may request their preference, however, due to programming needs and number of students registered, we are unable to guarantee parent choice. 
  • Class placements are based on a number of factors including, number of registrations received, date of registration, program day availability and student needs, not only on parent preference. 
    • Program day choice priority will be given to those who register by March 31 as long as classes are able to remain balanced.

Alberta Education requires an annual Student Registration or Demographic Update Form, for every student, signed by the Parent or Legal Guardian to verify that the student qualifies for Provincial or National Education funding. The Demographic Update form serves as an annual registration form for all returning WCPS K-12 students.

On August 31/Sept 1, you will receive an email to the email address attached to your Parent Portal account. If you don’t have a Parent Portal account, please contact your child's school office. Follow the directions in the email to complete a 2022-2023 Demographic Update form for each PreK-12 student you have in a Wolf Creek school. If you did not receive an email asking you to update your child's student profile, please check your spam/junk folder. Using a phone or tablet to complete these forms may cause issues for some users. We recommend using a desktop, laptop or Chromebook. If you are having issues submitting the form, accessing your Parent Portal account or require access to a device to complete this form, please contact your child’s school office. Online Student Demographic Update forms are due Sept 15, 2022.
