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.
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.
*A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
LOTTERY PROCESS ONCE PRE-ENROLMENT CLOSES
After pre-enrolment closes at 4 p.m. on March 22, families of resident students will receive a call from the school about the lottery results by April 12, 2024.
- If selected in the lottery, new resident students will attend the school.
- If not selected in the lottery, new resident students will:
- be able to attend their overflow designated school or choose to enrol at a Level 1 school with space in planned classes. Siblings may also enrol at the overflow designated school, and
- be able to request to be placed on a callback list if spaces open before March 21, 2025.
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.
REGISTRATION AFTER MARCH 22
Resident students who newly move into a Level 3 school’s attendance area for the 2024–25 school year after pre-enrolment closes on March 22 can be added to the bottom of the callback list. Students can attend their overflow designated school, another Edmonton Public school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.
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.
