Hello, bonjour, and ʔaǰɛčxw ʔot
We are excited to welcome you to qathet School District! Registrations for the 2024/2025 school year for K-12 students, including French Immersion, are NOW OPEN!
Please note that qathet School District is using the MyEdBC online registration process for students and therefore will not be accepting paper applications. Directions to help guide you in setting up your account can be found further down below.
What is MyEdBC? The MyEd BC Student Family Portal is another way in which students and their family can access information about their educational program.
Important to note:
You must be on a laptop, computer, or iPad in order to create an account. Phones will not let you.
