REGISTRATION OPENS ON FEBRUARY 1
For the 2026-2027 school year, Bessie Nichols School will be a level 2 school with open boundaries on EPSB’s Growth Control Model.
Spaces in planned classes will be allocated in this order:
- attendance area students (The Hamptons and Edgemont Northwest) will be guaranteed a spot provided they register during pre enrolment and provide necessary documentation
- resident secondary attendance area students (Edgemont North, Edgemont Southeast and Edgemont Southwest) will be accommodated if space remains in planned classes
- other resident students regardless of address (must have one non Roman Catholic parent residing in Edmonton)
- other students (Roman Catholic parents or out of Edmonton address)
We will consider pre-enrolment requests of resident students outside of our primary attendance area in order to balance class numbers provided that there is space. If the number of students who want to attend the school exceeds the available space, new applicants are chosen by random selection.
For the 2025 - 2026 school year, with the exception of Kindergarten, Grade 2 and Grade 4, Bessie Nichols School is full in planned classes in the regular program. We will only accept resident students in Grades 1 to 9 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for 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 registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
