<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We want to thank our communities for their questions, feedback, and patience as we conclude the processes of boundary change and registration. We have received our registration updates and new registrations at a much higher rate this year than in previous years. We have been analyzing the data, consulting with our principals, and weighing out how we can best serve our students and families through this process of change. We committed to providing clear communication to families about their requests on or after March 9, and feel confident that we can adhere to that timeline. Families will be hearing about the status of their registration from schools shortly, if they have not already. As a reminder, transportation rules as previously communicated remain the same for parents making requests for out-of-boundary registration; no transportation will be provided, other than for grandfathered students. </em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are excited for the future of our schools in Lethbridge and across the division.&nbsp;</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
