REGISTRATION FOR 2025/26 SCHOOL YEAR

PRE-ENROLMENT INSTRUCTIONS 

CURRENT EDMONTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD (EPSB) STUDENTS 

Parent/Guardian: 

To complete pre-enrolment, parents/guardians will use their login information to SchoolZone between February 3rd, 2025 and March 19th, 2025 (before 4pm).  Under the 'Next Year' tab, the parent/guardian will select the student’s school and program for the 2025/2026 school year.   

What if you don’t know your Parent/Guardian SchoolZone credentials?

•  SHEP parents/guardians - If you require your SchoolZone login credentials, please contact the main office to obtain them.

•  Other EPSB schools parents/guardians - Contact your current school office for your SchoolZone login credentials. 

ALL students must be pre-enrolled by March 19th, 2025 by 4:00pm via SchoolZone by the parent/guardian.

*NOTE: Completing and submitting the pre-enrollment SchoolZone info does not confirm acceptance to Ross Sheppard High School. Edmonton resident students who pre-enroll before the deadline (March 19, 2025) and who live within our designated area will not be notified of acceptance as Ross Sheppard is the designated school. Students who are accepted based upon specialized programs (EPSB Mandarin Bilingual and EPSB French Immersion) will be able to pre-enrol as well. All other students who do not fit this criteria will not be able to choose Ross Sheppard during pre-enrolment.

Ross Sheppard is now a Level 2 school on the Growth Control Model and will have a closed attendance area boundary. This means that the school will only accept resident students who:

1. Reside within the designated attendance area.

2. Have a sibling currently attending Ross Sheppard and that sibling will return to the school next year.

3. Qualify for the Mandarin Bilingual Program or French Immersion Program. 

*Resident Student

In accordance with the Education Act, Section 4, student's who are residents of Edmonton Public Schools will be given priority admission over non-resident students.  

To be considered a resident of Edmonton Public Schools, a student must:

1. A student must reside with at least one parent/legal guardian living within Edmonton Public Schools boundaries.  The address provided on the application must be for a residence (Section 4.1 of the Education Act) 2 copies of proof for this address will be requested. 

2. The second condition to be considered a resident is that at least one parent must declare themselves as non-Roman Catholic. 

We want to familiarize you with the terminology in the event that our school needs to complete to a Random Selection. It is our responsibility to first accommodate students who meet the resident criteria.  If you have further questions, please contact us at 780-448-5000 (press 6 for Student Services) or email us at rosssheppardstudentservices@epsb.ca
