Student Numbers explained: PEN & Pupil Number
1. PENs are used for completing the online permissions forms: Bby District online Student consent & permission 2024.2025 – due Sep26
The Personal Education Number (PEN) is a nine-digit number assigned to each student enrolled or registered with any; B.C. Early Learning (Strong Start program), Public or Independent school, B.C. Certified Offshore School, Yukon School, or public Post-Secondary Institution. Once issued, the PEN follows the student through their B.C. education path from Early Learning, through K-12 and post-secondary enrollment. PENs are important confidential identifiers that should be secured for future reference and safeguarded accordingly. Your child’s PEN can be found on each Report Card.
2. A pupil number is used to access MyEd Report Card Portal. Pupil numbers are generated by the MyEd system and do not change. Please note that only current year report cards are available on the MyEd Report Card Portal. Parents will be informed when Report Cards are published (3 Terms each year: end of December, last week before Spring Break & end of June). Parents / guardians are encouraged to view and download each report card.
PEN and Pupil numbers are not useful when leaving messages on the Seaforth 24 hour attendance number: 604-296-9028 extension “2”
