    REGISTRATION

    Registration 2024-25

    Registration opens on February 1, 2024. All new registrations, including Kindergarten should be done online. Children who are five years old on or before December 31, 2024 may register in Kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year. Learn more about kindergarten registration.

    If your child is new to Edmonton Public Schools, you can register for school online. Visit the Division website to learn how to register for school.

    Dr. Lila Fahlman School serves the attendance area of Allard and Callaghan neighbourhoods only. 

    We will continue to have a lottery process in place for new resident attendance area students enrolling at the school for the 2024–25 school year. This will not impact current students who attend the school.

    The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident of Edmonton Public Schools. In most cases, a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

    OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOL

    Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend the overflow designated school, Johnny Bright School, a Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.

    Each grade will have a limit for the number of classes for all grade levels. If the number of new students enrolling exceeds available space a lottery process will be used.

    Siblings of Current Students Attending Our School

    New resident students in the attendance area with a sibling returning to the school next year will get priority, but are not guaranteed to attend.

    Dr. Lila Fahlman Registration for 2023-24

    We are currently full in all planned classes for Kindergarten, grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 for the 2023-24 school year.  If you have recently moved into our neighbourhood, please contact Dr. Lila Fahlman School first at 587-489-4710. 

    Transportation to Overflow Designated Schools

    Yellow bus service to Johnny Bright School will be available for eligible students. Bus fees will apply.

    Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred transportation method for junior high and high school students; however, if if ETS does not meet Division standards, eligible students attending their overflow designated school may be able to apply for yellow bus service. Bus fees will apply.

    Students who require yellow bus service must apply before June 1, 2024. Information for new and current riders and application forms can be found on the Applying for Yellow Bus Service page on epsb.ca.

    More Information

    Watch the Growth Control Model video for an overview of the lottery process. You can also read more about the lottery process on the Edmonton Public Schools website. If you have any other questions, please contact the school at 587-489-4710 or email at lilafahlman@epsb.ca.

    We are a Level 3 school in the Division's Growth Control Model. As such, we require at least four (4) pieces of address verification, which could include: Hard copy driver's license; utility bill; CRA tax assessment; homeowner's insurance; bank statement; car insurance; tenant's insurance.

    Principal's Message

    Welcome to Dr. Lila Fahlman School.

    I am honored to be appointed principal of Dr. Lila Fahlman School and thrilled to work with all students, families, staff, and community members.

    Dr. Lila Fahlman was an educator, school trustee, philanthropist, social justice advocate, and a Member of the Order of Canada. She believed that if at first you do not succeed, you must go back and learn from those mistakes in order for you to reach your goals. She felt that “everything is possible” and persevered throughout her lifetime. As the school named in her honor, we are committed to exemplifying and celebrating these same qualities.

    Dr. Lila Fahlman School is a safe, nurturing environment where a diverse community of learners come together to reach its greatest potential. We are committed to creating a learning environment where all students experience academic success and personal growth with a strong sense of belonging. Our school creates meaningful learning opportunities that promotes responsible global citizenship and academic success for 21st-century students. We believe that the development of the child is the shared responsibility of the student, family, teacher, and community. We continually endeavor to support all our students so every one of them, as Dr. Lila Falhman would have wanted, can Reach for the Stars!

    It is a privilege to serve as your school principal.
