Pre-enrol your child earlier in 2024

 Every year, Edmonton Public Schools asks families to pre-enrol their children so schools can make sure the right supports are in place to welcome students each fall.

We wanted to let you know that, in 2024, the deadline to select your preferred school for the next school year will be earlier than usual. This change makes it easier for schools to plan the budgets and staffing they need to support students for the upcoming school year.

Between 8 a.m. on February 1 and 4 pm

on March 22, 2024, you can sign in to your parent SchoolZone account to choose where you would like your child to attend school next fall. 

After the winter break, watch for important reminders about enrolment on SchoolZone and on the Division’s social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and X, formerly Twitter).

Read full details about pre-enrolment and see important dates and deadlines on epsb.ca.

Student Enrollment Update

** Please note, that D.S. Mackenzie School is full in planned classes in Grade 7, 8and 9 in the Regular program for the current (2023-2024) School Year. We will now only accept resident students in Grade 7, 8 and 9 who have newly moved into the school's attendance area. 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 if you are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.

Welcome Message from Mr. Fonseca 

Welcome to the 2023/24 school year at D.S. Mackenzie School!

I’m excited to start this new school year and new journey with students, parents and staff. My
name is Fred Fonseca and I’m thrilled to be joining the D.S. Mackenize school community as
principal. I’ve been with the division for over 30 years in a variety of roles and am now looking
forward to meeting our new and returning D. S. MacKenzie students in the coming weeks!

My core beliefs focus around:
● Kids need three things every day at school - engagement, work that challenges them
and joy!
● Providing opportunities for students to explore, create, problem solve and collaborate.
● Ensuring high academic expectations for all students to achieve their greatest potential.
● Having a safe, caring, welcoming environment that will foster and support student
learning.
● Honouring diversity in our school community.
● A collective responsibility and team effort by all stakeholders - students, staff, parents
and community.
● Relationships matter and are at the heart of the work we do to help students become
successful and lead a life of fulfillment regardless of their career path.

At D.S. MacKenzie School, our practices reflect our commitment to our students’
academic, personal, and social development. We encourage our students to embrace
and accept responsibility for their learning and conduct in order to become the leaders
of tomorrow.

On behalf of the staff at D. S. MacKenzie, it is a privilege to welcome you to our school
community and we look forward to a year filled with personal growth and academic
success!

Warmest Regards,

Fred Fonseca

Principal
