📌 Out of Bounds (OOB) Application Process – Anglophone School District East (2026-2027)

If your child lives outside their designated school boundary and you would like them to attend a different school within Anglophone School District East, families must apply for an Out of Bounds (OOB) placement. If you have moved throughout the school year, you will be flagged if you are now currently living outside of the school boundary and your child will be showing on PowerSchool at their in-bound school for fall 2026. 

➡️ How it works:
• Families complete the online OOB application form through the ASD-E Registration page.
• Grades K–8: Applications must be submitted one week before the end of the current reporting period.

📣 Please note:
• Transportation is the responsibility of the family for approved Out of Bounds placements.
• Schools at or near capacity may not be able to accept OOB requests. 
• Approval is granted for one school year only and must be reapplied for annually. 

If you are considering an Out of Bounds request, please review the district guidelines and timelines carefully to ensure your application is submitted on time.
