District Centre Programs

S. Bruce Smith is a division centre for Opportunity and Strategies Programs.

For those parents choosing to have their child enrolled in one of these programs:

You are required to write this on your child’s pre-enrolment passport.
Your current school will initiate a placement request to SBS by a process referred to as SNAP (Special Needs Assisted Placement).
The SchoolZone enrollment must be completed by the Districted deadline that is established each year.
Your current school will notify you of your status and next steps through this process.
