Registration Inquiries & Procedures

Please direct all registration and course selection inquiries for new and returning students to esbchs.registration@blackgold.ca or call 780.929.6282 during business hours.

The information contained on this page is for incoming students who are new to Black Gold. This could include students who already reside in Beaumont but attend a school outside of Black Gold, for example, Mother d'Youville, as well as any students who will be moving into our school area and wish to attend school here in the fall.

PLEASE NOTE: If your child attended ESBCHS or one of our designated feeder schools for grade 9 (Ecole Champs Vallee School, Ecole Dansereau Meadows School or Ecole J.E. Lapointe School), you DO NOT NEED to complete the following steps to register as a New Student. CLICK HERE to access Beaumont Student Registration Information.

Steps for New Student Registration

• A new student is defined as anyone coming from a school in another school district (e.g. STAR Catholic, EPSB, another Alberta School Board or coming from out of province/country) or anyone who was previously a Black Gold Student at some point and has been away from the district for at least one school year.

Are you a Beaumont student?

Lapointe School) in the previous year, DO NOT complete a new student registration. CLICK HERE to get to the Beaumont student registration page.

If your child attended Ecole Mother d’Youville School for grade 9 and you wish to enroll them at ESBCHS for grade 10, you will need to follow the New Student Registration process outlined above. Parents are encouraged to contact the school as early as you can in the spring (starting early March) to ensure your child is enrolled with the rest of the incoming Grade 10 students.
