REGISTRATION
LOTTERY PROCESS AT SVEND HANSEN SCHOOL 2025-2026
As a Level 3 school, Svend Hansen School will continue to have a lottery process in place for new resident attendance area students enrolling at the school for the 2025–26 school year. This will not impact current students who attend the school.
The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools. In most cases, a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend 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 and Laurel West families can attend Daly Grove School for Kindergarten to grade 6 and T.D. Baker School for grades 7 to 9 , a Level 1 Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.
SIBLINGS OF CURRENT STUDENTS ATTENDING SVEND HANSEN SCHOOL
New resident students in the attendance area who have a sibling returning to the school next year will get priority but are not guaranteed to attend.

REGISTRATION 2024-2025
For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Svend Hansen School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 8 in the regular program. For Grade 9, we remain open to resident attendance area students only. Resident students in Kindergarten to Grade 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 schools only.
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.
LOTTERY PROCESS AT SVEND HANSEN SCHOOL FOR 2024-2025
To help address enrolment growth and space shortages, Svend Hansen 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 Svend Hansen or who wish to enrol in a grade with space in planned classes, are not impacted.
REGISTERING AT AN OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOL OR OTHER DIVISION SCHOOL
Svend Hansen will help resident families who were not selected in the lottery process to register 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 and 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 22
New resident students who newly move into a Level 3 school’s attendance area for the 2024–25 school year after pre-enrolment closes on March 22 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, if applicable.
TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS
Yellow bus service to Weinlos (Laurel East) and Daly Grove ( Laurel West) will be available for eligible 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.
