Special Education Programs

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.
