A Kindergarten student who is a resident and lives in the school's attendance area may still register.

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.

Overflow School for Dr. Lila Fahlman for 2024-25

For the 2024-25 school year, Johnny Bright will be the overflow designated school for Dr. Lila Fahlman School. As a Level 3 school, there will be a lottery process at Dr. Lila Fahlman school in grades where the number of new resident students exceeds the available space in planned classes. We have space to welcome these students. 

This means if resident students in the Allard and Callaghan neighbourhoods choose to enroll at Dr. Lila Fahlman School and are not accepted through the lottery process, they can attend Johnny Bright School. If you live in these areas and choose not to participate in the lottery process at Dr. Lila Fahlman, you can still:

  • register or pre-enrol at Johnny Bright School,
  • attend another school that has space in planned classes, or
  • remain at your current school. 

Yellow bus service to an overflow designated school will be available for eligible Kindergarten to Grade 6 students. Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred transportation method for junior high students; however, if ETS is not available eligible students may be able to apply for yellow bus service. Bus fees will apply.


More information about the Division’s lottery process is posted on epsb.ca/lotteryprocess.
