REGISTRATION 2025-2026

For the 2025 - 2026 school year, with the exception of Grade 7, Svend Hansen School is full in planned classes in the regular program.

To help address enrolment growth, Svend Hansen School has a lottery process for new students enrolling for the 2025–26 school year. This 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 Svend Hansen School 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..

If you are NEW to Edmonton Public Schools or Registering for Kindergarten for 2025-26:

***If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.***

LOTTERY PROCESS ONCE PRE-ENROLMENT CLOSES

Pre-enrolment closes at 4 p.m. on March 19. In April, the school will call the families of new resident students about the lottery results. 

• If selected in the lottery, new resident students can attend the school. 
• If not selected in the lottery, new resident students can:
• 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,
• request to be placed on a callback list if spaces open up until the last school day before pre-enrolment begins next school year.     

ENROLLING AT AN OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOL OR OTHER DIVISION SCHOOL

We will help resident families who were not selected in the lottery process enrol at their overflow designated school,

Laurel East families can attend Weinlos School for Kindergarten to Grade 6 and Kate Chegwin School for Grades 7 to 9

 Laurel West families can attend Daly Grove School for Kindergarten to Grade 6 and T.D. Baker School for Grades 7 to 9.

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 19

Resident students who move into a Level 3 school’s attendance area for the 2025–26 school year after pre-enrolment closes on March 19 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.
