Kindergarten Registration


If your child is new to Edmonton Public Schools, you'll need to complete a Student Registration form. 

Children who are four years of age on or before March 1 may register in Kindergarten‌ for the 2017-2018 school year.  Schools start accepting new student registrations for the next school year on February 1, 2017. Applying after April 18 may limit your options to schools with available space. Learn more about registration dates and deadlines. 

Contact your preferred school to learn more about open house dates and Kindergarten orientation sessions.

Choosing a School

Students are guaranteed entry to their designated school if registered (new students) or pre-enrolled (current students) no later than April 18. Use the Find a School tool to find your designated school.

A student may also attend any other school in the District, as long as:

  • the school has available space
  • the student meets any entrance criteria of that school

If the number of students who want to attend a school or program exceeds the available space, applicants from outside the school’s designated attendance area will be chosen by random selection.

Registration Form

To register with the District for the first time, a parent/guardian or independent student (over the age of 16 and living independently) will need to complete a Student Registration form. 

Schools start accepting registration for new students for the 2017-2018 school year on February 1, 2017.
