REGISTRATION Update 2024-2025

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Svend Hansen School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 7 in the regular program. For Grades 8 and 9, we remain open to resident attendance area students only. Resident students in Kindergarten to Grade 7 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 - Weinlos School (Kindergarten to Grade 6) and Kate Chegwin School(Grade 7).

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, 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.

TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS

Yellow bus service to Weinlos will be available for eligible students. Bus fees will apply.
