STUDENT REGISTRATION

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.

For more information about the lottery process, watch the Growth Control Model video for an overview of the lottery process. You can also read more about the lottery process on epsb.ca. If you have any other questions, please contact the school at 587-489-4747.

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.
   
   
3. Parent Information Session
   Kindergarten staff will host a Parent Information Session on Thursday, September 3, at 6:00 p.m. This is an adult session to provide an opportunity for parents to learn more about the Kindergarten program, hear directly from teachers, and ask questions.
   

For Students in Grades 1–9

All students and parents are welcome to meet their child’s teacher on Monday, August 31, from 3:00–5:00 p.m. This is also an opportunity for students to find their classrooms, bring school supplies, and feel settled for the first day of school.
