RC Palmer – Pre-AP/Incentive Program

If you are a Grade 7 student who wishes to apply to the Pre-AP/Incentive Program for the 2022-2023 school year, please carefully review all of the following information.

Out-of-Catchment Students:

If you live outside of Palmer’s catchment area, you will need to complete a School Transfer Form and submit it to Palmer’s School Office.

This form is available at all Richmond elementary and secondary school offices, as well as at the Richmond School Board office. Please refer to the following link for more details (as well as links to transfer application forms). Email competed forms to Palmer@sd38.bc.ca.
