Surrey Schools Prepare for New Academic Year Starting September 2

The countdown to the new academic year in Surrey is underway, with schools set to reopen on September 2, 2025. Surrey Schools has outlined essential information for parents, caregivers, and students to ensure a smooth transition as the 2025-26 school year approaches.

School Office Hours and Registration Details

Secondary school offices are currently open on weekdays starting at 09:00, while elementary school offices will follow suit from August 25, 2025, with hours from 10:00 to 15:00. Parents are encouraged to check their email and school websites for specific start dates and times for classes.

Kindergarten students will follow a gradual entry schedule during the first two weeks of school. Regular, full-time attendance for all kindergarten students will commence on September 15, 2025. For students in grades 1 through 7, classes will begin at 10:00 on the first day and will be dismissed early on September 2. It is advisable for parents to confirm the start and dismissal times with their respective schools.

Variation in Class Times Across Schools

Secondary schools will also experience a shortened first day, with start and end times differing by school and grade level. Educational settings such as learning centres will have their own schedules, which should be verified directly with those sites. Learning centre offices will also open on August 25, 2025, and information regarding class timings will be provided by the Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning (SAIL).

New families joining Surrey Schools can find detailed registration information on the district’s official website. For students who are English Language Learners (ELL), the district offers support services, including registration assistance, placement assessments, and access to settlement and multicultural workers. For further details, interested parties should visit the appropriate sections on the Surrey Schools website.

As the summer sun continues to shine, the anticipation for a productive school year is building. Surrey Schools aims to ensure that students and families are well-prepared for the upcoming academic journey.
