Welcome to the 2026–27 school year
Wed, 26 Aug, 2026
We’re excited to kick off another great school year! Whether you’re new to the Division or looking to brush up on important back-to-school information, you’re in the right place.
2026–27 Division calendar
The 2026–27 Division calendar has all the important dates you need to know for this school year, including:
- fall, winter and spring breaks
- Professional Development days (PD days)
- other holidays, dates of significance and non-instructional days
SchoolZone
SchoolZone is a secure website with important information about your child’s school and learning. Sign in to SchoolZone to find out more about:
- attendance records
- marks and progress reports (report cards)
- fees
- school news and events
Important updates from Edmonton Public Schools are also shared through SchoolZone, under the Division News tab.
If your child is new to the Division, your school will give you a parent username and password. If you already have an account, but cannot remember your sign-in credentials, contact your school directly for assistance.
SchoolMessenger
SchoolMessenger is an urgent message system that can call and text you when there is an emergency at your child’s school, like a fire or evacuation. Learn more about SchoolMessenger, and sign up for text message alerts.
Staying home when sick
One of the most effective ways to keep one another healthy and safe is to stay home when sick. Families, students and staff are asked to monitor for symptoms of illness before coming to school and work. If your child is going to be away from school due to illness, it is important you let the school know.
Getting to school
Parents of students taking the bus can find route information and yellow bus tracking on SchoolZone.

Help keep our schools safe
The first days back to school are full of excitement, and students may not always be watching the road. As classes resume, we’re reminding all motorists to drive with extra caution.
Drivers are required to slow to 30 km/h in all playground zones from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe.
Review all road safety reminders.
