Verification Form Instructions
Student Enrollment Verification Forms Now Available
The online Student Enrollment Verification Forms for Black Gold School Division are now open on thePowerSchool Parent Portal. Please complete your child’s form by Friday, September 25.
Completing this form promptly is critical for several reasons:
- Accurate Emergency Contacts & Call Order: It is essential that we have up-to-date contact information so we can reach you quickly in an emergency. Filling out this form also allows you to specify the exact order in which you would like parents and guardians to be called.
- Walking Field Trips & Terry Fox Walk: This form includes the walking field trip agreement. Completing it provides permission for your child to leave school grounds for neighborhood outings, including our upcoming Terry Fox Walk.
- Class Photos & Teacher Blogs: Teachers are excited to start sharing photos and updates on their classroom blogs! However, we cannot publish photos or recognize students in school materials until all Digital Citizenship and POPA (Protection of Personal Information) permissions are confirmed on this form.
If you need any assistance or do not have a PowerSchool account, please contact the school office at (780) 987-3705.
