    REGISTRATION

    REGISTRATION 2024-25

    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.

    To help address enrolment growth and space shortages, Dr. Lila Fahlman School has a lottery process for new students enrolling for the 2024–25 school year. The lottery only impacts new resident* students living in the designated attendance area who wish to enrol in a grade that does not have space in planned classes. Students who are currently enrolled at Dr. Lila Fahlman or who wish to enrol in a grade with space in planned classes, are not impacted. 

    For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Dr. Lila Fahlman School is full in planned classes in grades 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the regular program. Resident students in grades 1, 3, 4, 5 6, 7 or 8 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance areas for the regular program will now have access to the overflow designated school only - Johnny Bright School.

    *A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. Non-resident students can enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.

    If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.

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

    REGISTERING AT AN OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOL OR OTHER DIVISION SCHOOL

    We will help resident families who were not selected in the lottery process to register at their overflow designated school, Johnny Bright. If families choose to go to another Edmonton Public school, they will need to call or email their preferred school to see if there is space in planned classes.

    Siblings will also be able to attend the overflow designated school, but if families choose to go to another Division school with space in planned classes, siblings are not guaranteed to attend.

    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. 

    TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS

    Yellow bus service to Johnny Bright School will be available for eligible K-6 students. Bus fees will apply.

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

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

    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.
