LOTTERY PROCESS AT JAN REIMER 2026/2027 SCHOOL YEAR

Jan Reimer will continue to have a lottery process in place for new resident attendance area students enrolling at the school for the 2026–27 school year. This will not impact current students who attend the school.

The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident of Edmonton Public Schools. In most cases, a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend the overflow designated school, Satoo School (K-Grade 6) or KISÊWÂTISIWIN School (Grade 7-9), a Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.

Siblings of current students attending Jan Reimer
New resident students in the attendance area who have a sibling returning to the school next year will get priority, but are not guaranteed to attend.
