Slide 2 

Withdrawing a student who is no longer in attendance is one of a participating private school’s 
responsibilities, and should be completed promptly once it is known that the student will not return. 

Slide 3 

During the school year, please promptly withdraw a student at the parent’s request. This will allow for a 
smooth transfer process for the student’s family. 

Slide 4 

At the end of the school year, please withdraw any students who have graduated, as well as any other 
students who do not intend to return to your school for the upcoming year. 

Slide 5 

To withdraw a student during the school year, select the student’s name from the McKay Student List 
and select the Withdraw option on the top of the page. Between May 1 and the start of the new school 
year, the Withdraw link can be found next to the student’s name on the McKay Student List. 

Slide 6 

Enter the Withdrawal Date, which is the last day the student attended your school. Then enter your 
name, and the reason for withdrawal: for example graduating, or transferring to another school. 

Slide 7 

Check the box to confirm that that you wish to withdraw the child, and select “Complete Withdrawal.” 

Slide 8 

If one of your students should fail to attend for an extended period or if a parent lets you know of a 
student’s upcoming hospitalization, for example, contact your regional manager for guidance on 
whether or not to withdraw the student. 

Slide 9 

Private school administrators are not able to re-enroll students once they have been withdrawn from 
their school. If a parent has a change of mind and wishes to re-enroll a student, please submit a 
Scholarship Issue Form to your regional manager.
