STUDENT REGISTRATION FOR 2026-2027
New to Edmonton Public Schools
New student registration begins on February 2, 2026. Families of children entering Kindergarten to Grade 9 can visit new student registration to register online for the 2026–27 school year.
To register, your child must be a resident student which means that at least one parent or legal guardian lives in Edmonton and is not Roman Catholic. Three pieces of proof of address are required. Please note that we cannot accept registrations with future possession/move in dates.
Due to the lottery process (see below) and the number of inquiries we receive, we do not host an open house in the spring or offer individual tours. If you have questions about our school or the registration process, please email us at margaretannarmour@epsb.ca.
Current and new students to Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School
Pre-enrolment for current DMAA students and new resident students (who live in the attendance area) begins on February 2, 2026 and ends at 4 p.m. on March 25, 2026. We will contact new student families by April 17, 2026 about their enrolment status (accepted or not).
Lottery Process
Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School used a lottery process to help address enrolment growth and space shortages.
If we do not have space for your child they will be able to:
- attend their overflow designated school (McKee School for K-6 or Vernon Barford School for Grades 7-9) or they may enrol at a Level 1 school with space in planned classes, and
- request to be placed on a callback list for spaces that open before March 2027.
When a sibling of a student currently attending the school and returning to the school the following year has registered or pre-enrolled by 4 p.m. on March 25, 2026, the following applies for siblings who are new to the school:
- siblings who are resident students and live in the attendance area are given priority, but are not guaranteed to attend if there is not enough space at their grade level
- resident siblings who live outside the attendance area can only attend if there is space in planned classes after resident students living in the attendance area are enrolled
We will help resident families register at their overflow designated school. 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.
TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS
Yellow bus service to McKee School will be available for eligible K–6 students. Bus fees will apply. Students who are eligible for yellow bus service must apply before June 1, 2025. 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 school students; however, if ETS is not available, eligible students attending Vernon Barford School may be able to apply for yellow bus service.
REGISTERING AFTER THE PRE-ENROLMENT DEADLINE
If you move into the attendance area of our school after 4 p.m. on March 25, 2026, and the school is full in the grade your child is entering, your child can go to the overflow designated school or another school with space.
Your child will be added to our school’s callback list; if spaces in planned classes at the school open up, they will be offered to students on the list.
