Full in Grades 5, 6, and 7 for 2024-25

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Donald R. Getty School is full in Grades 5,  6, and 7 classes in the regular program. We will only accept resident students who have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program in these grades. 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 enroll in another division school with space in planned classes.

Students who are new to Edmonton Public Schools can register online.

Principal's Message

At Donald R. Getty school, we strive to create high quality learning experiences for our students. We believe that every child has unique gifts and talents and that these should be recognized and shared as a part of creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive school community.

Our school philosophy is built around three core words. Respectful. Active. Healthy. Our staff works collaboratively to help students embody these three values each and every day. We know that significant learning happens when students have positive and healthy relationships with their teachers and school staff in addition to those they have with their parents/guardians. Our students are encouraged to do their best and to learn from their mistakes. This learning allows them to develop and enhance their ability to be respectful, and responsible, and to form healthy relationships.

Communication between home and school is also critical to the success of our students. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you might have. In addition to phone calls and email, we use SchoolZone to share important information with our families. 

Thank you for joining us at Donald R. Getty!  We look forward to working alongside you and your child as they pursue their educational journey.
