REGISTRATION AND PRE-ENROLMENT
WELCOME TO THE 2025-2026 REGISTRATION SEASON
The 2025-2026 registration season will begin on February 1st, 2025. Below we have provided you with a list of questions and answers to help you navigate registering your child for next year (both at D.S. MacKenzie and any EPSB school). Check back frequently as we are continually adding new information.
Q1. Where can my child attend school?
Edmonton Public School Board is a Division of choice meaning you can try to register at any school. Acceptance will be granted based on the availability of space in planned classes, residency, attendance controls in effect and in some cases, admission criteria. You can use this tool <click here> to find the school that you are guaranteed enrolment at. At D.S. MacKenzie, we guarantee enrolment into our school to resident students of our attendance area first, and offer the remaining spaces to students who are interested in our school from all over the city. In previous school years, we have filled the majority of grades during pre-enrollment so it is important to make your decision prior to 4:00 pm on March 22, 2024.
- Current students of EPSB can enroll for next year using SchoolZone <click here>
- New to EPSB students can start enrolling on February 1st, 2024 <click here>

Q4. Have you recently Moved?
- Please update your child’s current address with the school office before pre-enrolling in SchoolZone.
Q5. Do you want your child to learn online?
- Online learning at Argyll Centre: Families of Grade 1-12 students who would like to learn online for the 2024-25 school year can register or pre-enroll at Argyll Centre. More information is available on the Division website.
Q6. I hear your school is a "Student owned device school" What does that mean?
- Student-Owned Device Plan - At D.S. MacKenzie, all grade 7‐9 students are required to bring a student‐owned device which supports relevant and engaging instruction and learning. With teacher direction, students will use their own devices (preferably a Chromebook) in the classroom to access assignments, research information, communicate with other learners, and use productivity tools to demonstrate their learning.

Submit your child’s absence in SchoolZone!
You can now use SchoolZone to report when your child will be absent from school. This new feature is optional for Division schools, and our school is excited to participate!
On your mobile phone or desktop computer, enter your child’s absence starting a week before it occurs or up to the day they are absent. Sign in to SchoolZone, choose the Student Profile menu and then Attendance to enter an absence.
If you prefer to call the school or email Mrs. Painchaud <click here> to report an absence, you can continue to do so.
