Have you moved to REC's catchment area and have a child going to attend REC?

Please call the school at 902-758-4660 ext 2032 or E-mail Michelle to set up an appointment to come in to register your child.

You will need to bring along the following:

✅ Your child's birth certificate;

If you are moving and your child will be starting REC in September, there will be a day at the end of August to come in to register for September, but you can call to let us know about your move anytime.

Please note: Grade 5 students in the area that will be coming to REC in the following September do not need to register.
