Langley schools, made simple.
Key dates, board decisions, new schools and the things parents actually need to know, in plain language. Updated every week by a Langley mom and PAC parent.
Why I do this
Parent first.
Community always.
I’m a Langley mom and I volunteer on the PAC at my kids’ school. Every week there’s a lot happening across the district, and it’s easy to miss the things that matter: registration deadlines, board decisions, new schools, safety updates and the wins worth celebrating.
So I pull it together in one place. Short, clear and always linked back to the official source.
“Strong schools build strong neighbourhoods.”
Good to know
These updates are my own summaries for parents and neighbours. I’m not speaking for the Langley School District, any school or any PAC. Always confirm dates, catchments and registration details with sd35.bc.ca or your school.

Growing with Langley
New schools are coming.
Langley is one of the fastest-growing communities in BC, and the district is building to keep up. Two new schools are under construction in the Smith neighbourhood: Emery Dosdall Secondary (about 1,900 spaces) and stɑtl̓əw̓ Middle (about 900 spaces).
If you’re moving within Langley, or into it, the school question usually comes first. I’m happy to walk you through catchments, new schools and how they fit your search.
