Before registering, check out the many Prairie Rose Possibilities and Academy programs available exclusively to Prairie Rose students. With a wide range of opportunities to choose from students can explore their passions while gaining skills for the future. With programs covering, agriculture, flight, rodeo, hockey, baseball, art academies and many more, the possibilities are endless when your child attends a Prairie Rose school. Better yet, Prairie Rose programs are built based on community support and involvement. When you attend a Prairie Rose school, not only is your child receiving a one of a kind, high quality education, but they are also giving back and supporting thriving small communities.

More information about applying to an Academy program can be found at the bottom of this page.

Returning Prairie Rose Students

All returning PRPS students will be assigned a 2026-2027 Returning Student Registration form using our new PowerSchool Enrollment online program. 

Families will receive an email from PowerSchool Enrollment that includes a snapcode link. The snapcode is like a key to your child’s returning form for the upcoming school year. You will receive a separate email with a unique snapcode link for each child who has an outstanding registration. These forms will be automatically prepopulated with the data we currently have on file for your student. You will be required to make any changes and complete the annual permission sections. The emails will come from <<noreplyenrollment@powerschool.com>>. Each family will be required to make an account when completing their registration forms for the first time using PowerSchool Enrollment if they have not already made one in the past year (this will apply to most families). Only one parent account is required per family.

If you have any questions please call your school office for assistance or email our PRPS PowerSchool support person Krista Lester at kristalester@prrd8.ca who will be able to assist you with the process.

New Prairie Rose Students

If you are registering a new Prairie Rose student and you live INSIDE the Prairie Rose Public Schools attendance boundaries, please use our online registration form. In some instances, schools will also request students who have left the division and are now returning (these students are also considered new students) to also complete the Out of District application form. See New Students Outside the PRPS Attendance Area for details.

PRPS Student Registration Using PowerSchool Enrollment

Current Year ➡️ New students for 2025-2026 school year: PowerSchool Enrollment

New students for the 2026-2027 school year: Form will open on February 2, 2026.

Helpful Hint 📝: You will need to make a new PowerSchool Enrollment account. Once you are logged in, choose the form labelled New PRPS Student Registration

Helpful Hint 📝: If you are registering a new student AND you already have another student attending a Prairie Rose school, you will still need to make a new account in PowerSchool Enrollment. The former online system, School Engage, was phased out over the summer of 2025 and is no longer in use.

New Students Outside the PRPS Attendance Area

If you do not currently live within the Prairie Rose attendance area, you are required to complete an Out of District Application Form before registering at a Prairie Rose school – unless you are registering for a Junior Kindergarten program. We encourage families to submit and receive approvals prior to the registration opening date.

✔️ Apply to attend a Prairie Rose School: Out of District Application Form

Once completed, you must wait to receive approval by the school principal before proceeding with your school registration.

Is your child ready for school?

To register for kindergarten, a student must be at least 5 years of age before December 31, 2026. If they are younger than age 5 by that date, they are still eligible to register for our Junior Kindergarten program at select PRPS locations.

If you are unsure, enter your child's age in the Kindergarten calculator found here: https://www.ecsd.net/kindergarten-calculator

Early Learning Readiness Check-Ups

We encourage all new 3-5 year old students to attend an Early Learning Readiness Check-Up at their local school. These check-ups help us ensure appropriate early learning supports are available. Services may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, deaf and hard of hearing assistance and other types of supports based on the needs of the child.

An email with a link to register for your child’s check-up will be sent following submission of your 2026-2027 Student Registration form via email. You can also book an appointment here: https://schoolinterviews.ca/code/2p7kc
