IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please Notes that Donald R. Getty is a Level 3 School
Schools at Level 3:
✔ have reached capacity
✔ have a lottery process in place
✔ cannot guarantee admission for new students
Enrolment priorities
If a Level 3 school does not have space in a grade for all resident students in the attendance area, a lottery process will
be used for new students in this order:
1. Resident* students in the attendance area who have a sibling* at the school returning next year
2. Resident students from the attendance area
3. Resident students outside the attendance area who have a sibling at the school returning next year
Lottery process at Donald R. Getty School
Edmonton Public Schools reviews enrolment and programs at schools each fall to monitor growth and see where schools are on the Growth Control Model. After reviewing enrolment this fall, Edmonton Public Schools determined Donald R. Getty School is a Level 3 school and is implementing a lottery process for new resident students enrolling at the school for 2025–26. 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 student of Edmonton Public Schools. A student is considered a resident of Edmonton Public Schools if they have at least one parent or legal guardian who lives in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend their overflow designated school, George P. Nicholson ( gr. K-6) and D.S. MacKenzie (gr. 7-9), a Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school.
Siblings of current students attending the school
New resident students from the attendance area with a sibling who is returning to the school next year will get priority but are not guaranteed to attend.
