To proceed with preregistering your child in a New Brunswick public school, please complete the following steps.

1

Collect the Necessary Information

To preregister, you will need to create a profile for your child within the EECD Parent Portal.
You will need the following information about your child:

Legal Name
Date of Birth
New Brunswick Education Number (NBEN) OR Medicare Number and Name

If your child is of school age, they may have a New Brunswick Education Number (NBEN). The NBEN can be found on report cards issued by their school. The NBEN is not required but assists us in verifying their identity. If your child does not have an NBEN, you may use their Medicare information to verify their identity.

If your child does not have an NBEN or Medicare number, please contact the Welcome Centre in the district your child is to attend, and they will provide you with what is required to register your student in the public school system.

As part of this form you will also select the grade and school for your child to preregister.

In order to support learning, the public education system collects and keeps a variety of information about students which are needed to provide a variety of services and supports to students.

Medicare numbers are used for research and registration purposes, and to verify proof of immunization in accordance with the Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act.
