Joey Moss School opened September 2022. 

Joey Moss captured the hearts of Edmontonians for decades. He became a household name working as a dressing room attendant for the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Eskimos (now the Edmonton Elks), since the 1980s. Players and fans alike looked up to Joey for his passion, positive attitude and incredible work ethic. He taught many people about acceptance and inclusivity through his work, community involvement and advocacy for supports for people with disabilities in the Edmonton region.

Joey Moss School is a community school that fosters a sense of belonging and where students are celebrated, respected and challenged. We focus on building relationships and connections, the school provides enrichment and leadership opportunities that nurture the whole child in a welcoming and supportive environment.

FOR 2026-2027

For the 2026 - 2027 school year, Joey Moss School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 5 in the regular program. For Grades 6 - 9, we remain open to resident attendance area students only. Resident students in Kindergarten to Grade 5 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school's attendance area for the regular program will now have access to the overflow designated school - Esther Starkman School (Kindergarten to Grade 9).

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.

Opportunities to Visit Joey Moss School

Due to our Level 3 status and the high number of inquiries we receive, we do not host a spring open house or offer individual tours.

For Kindergarten Students Accepted to Joey Moss School

1. Kindergarten Visit Day
   Kindergarten students and their families are invited to visit on Wednesday, May 27, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. This drop-in event allows families to tour the school, meet the Kindergarten teachers, and become familiar with the learning environment.
   
   
2. Staggered Entry
   To support a smooth transition into school, Kindergarten students will attend using staggered entry on September 1, 2, and 3. Families will receive detailed information once registration is confirmed. Students will attend in small groups, allowing teachers time to meet with families during drop-off and pick-up and helping to reduce first-day anxiety.

Joey Moss School has a desire to engage with parents through School Council. Our School Council focuses on building a community at Joey Moss that works in collaboration with the Fundraising Society to sponsor events. As a member of the School Council, you are able to provide valuable input and gain insight into the education your child is receiving.
