How To Register

If you've arrived in an Aspen View community from Ukraine and want to register your child in one of our schools, we're here to assist.

If you are able, please complete the online Student Registration Form, uploading supporting documents if available. School staff can also provide assistance with the registration process. Contact the applicable school to ask about registration.

Unaccompanied Minors

To register a student who's arrived in Alberta as an unaccompanied minor from Ukraine, the individual who's claiming custody or guardianship should either provide evidence they've applied for temporary guardianship or should submit:

• an Alberta Court Temporary Guardianship Order;
• an Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada Custodianship Declaration; or
• a letter from a Ukrainian parent granting guardianship to a Canadian custodian. A letter of this nature may be temporarily accepted, however, it's expected the Canadian custodian will be able to provide evidence they've applied for temporary guardianship within a reasonable amount of time.
