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 Grade 3, 5, 6 and 8 in the regular program. Resident students in Grade 3, 5, 6 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.
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 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.
