REGISTRATION

Pre-enrolment and registration update for 2024-2025 School Year

Thanks to all the families who pre-enrolled before the March 22, 2024, deadline to help our school get ready for next year!

We had more requests than available space, so a lottery process will be held for new students in the following grades:

Kindergarten, Grade Two, Grade Three, Grade Four, Grade Five, Grade Six and Grade 7.

We did not go to lottery for Grade One but we are full and will now be maintaining a call back list.

We are currently open for registration in Grades 8 and 9 for new students in our attendance area .

If your child has registered prior to March 22,2024 , you will be notified about the results by April 12, 2024.

For the 2023 - 2024 school year, Svend Hansen School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in the regular program. 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 a new resident attendance area student in Kindergarten to Grade 9, please contact the school to learn about your options.

If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, please 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.

*A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

LOTTERY PROCESS ONCE PRE-ENROLMENT CLOSES

After pre-enrolment closes at 4 p.m. on March 22, families of resident students will:

receive a call from the school about the lottery results by April 12,2024;

1) If selected in the lottery, new resident students will attend the school.

2) If not selected in the lottery, new resident students will:

be able to attend their overflow designated school or choose to enrol at another Division school with space. Siblings may also enrol at the overflow designated school, and
request to be placed on a callback list if spaces open before the last day of Pre-Enrolment, March 21,2025. Students MUST be enrolled in a Division school for the 2024-2025 school year to stay on the callback list beyond the first day of school.

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, Weinlos School for Kindergarten to grade 6 and Kate Chegwin 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.

*A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

If your child is new to Edmonton Public Schools, you can register for school online. Visit the Division website to learn how to register for school.

TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS

Yellow bus service to Weinlos 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.
