Frequently Asked Questions 1. Student Transfers

Answer #1

If you wish to send your child to a school other than the one serving your home address, AVRSB has a process to apply for student transfer. A transfer request is not approved automatically—it will be considered by the principals of the "sending" and "receiving" schools according to certain guidelines. If your request is approved, you are responsible for arranging transportation to and from school.

To start the process, contact your local school. Guidelines for student transfer and the “Request for Student Transfer” application form are available from your local school, or download the form here.


2. Parent/Guardian Concerns

Answer #2

If you have a concern about something at your child’s school, we want to hear from you. We will make every effort to address your concern in a timely manner. The first step is to contact your child’s teacher or the staff member involved. Most concerns can be resolved at this level. If you feel more action is needed, the next step is to speak to your child’s principal.


If the concern can’t be resolved at the school level, please contact the Supervisor of School Support Services at (902) 538-4745. If a resolution still can’t be reached, then please contact the Director of Programs and Services by calling (902) 538-4617. The last step in this process is to contact the Office of the Superintendent of Schools at (902) 538-4615. You can also call the AVRSB switchboard toll-free at 1-800-850-3887 to reach these offices.
